Effects of simultaneous combined exposure to CDMA and WCDMA electromagnetic fields on serum hormone levels in rats

掲載誌: J Radiat Res 2013; 54 (3): 430-437

この研究は、CDMA(849MHz)およびWCDMA(1.95GHz)の無線周波RF)信号に45分間/日、5日/週、8週間にわたって同時ばく露したSprague-Dawleyラット240匹(擬似ばく露群(雌雄各40匹)、CDMA(全身平均SAR 4W/kg)ばく露群(雌雄各40匹)、CDMA+WCDMA(それぞれ全身平均SAR 2W/kg で合計4W/kg)ばく露群(雌雄各40匹))を各群半数は4週間ばく露後に屠殺、残り半数は8週間後に屠殺し、内分泌系の複数のパラメータを調べた。その結果、8週間の同時ばく露において、メラトニン甲状腺刺激ホルモン、トリヨードチロニン、チロキシン、副腎皮質刺激ホルモン、性ホルモンテストステロンおよびエストロゲン)の血中濃度に影響は見られなかった、と報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

To investigate several parameters of the endocrine system after exposure to a single CDMA or a combined CDMA and WCDMA signal.

詳細情報

Rats were divided into three groups, each group consisted of 40 male and 40 female rats: 1.) sham exposure, 2.) exposure to CDMA and 3.) exposure to CDMA and WCDMA. After 4 weeks of exposure, half of the animals of every group were sacrificed. The second half was exposed another 4 weeks before sacrifice. Organs were taken out for histopathological examinations and blood was collected for determination of serum levels of diverse hormons.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

There was no difference in body weight among the sham, CDMA alone or combined exposed groups. Histopathological analysis of the organs was performed and no significant alterations were found.
After exposure to CDMA alone or simultaneous exposure to CDMA and WCDMA no alteration was found in serum melatonin levels in comparison to the sham exposed animals after 4 and after 8 weeks. Serum TSH concentration increased with age in both male and female rats, but no statistical significance between sham exposed and exposed animals was found. Serum triiodothyronine and thyroxine hormone levels of CDMA alone or combined exposed rats did not show any significant differences compared with sham exposed rats. Serum adrenocorticotropic hormone levels decreased with age in both male and female rats. However, CDMA alone or simultaneous combined exposure did not affect serum ACTH levels when compared with those of sham exposed rats. Sex hormone levels increased with age. CDMA alone or combined exposure of CDMA and WCDMA did not alter the serum level of sex hormones in comparison to the sham exposed group.
The authors summarize that neither CDMA nor a combination of CDMA and WCDMA exposure affected the rats' serum hormone level in this study.
