この研究は、電磁パルスばく露がラットの記憶や酸化ストレスに及ぼす影響を調べた。40匹の健康な雄のSprague Dawleyラットを4群に分けた：3つのばく露群（電磁パルス（電界強度50 kV/m、繰り返し周波数100 Hz）をそれぞれ100発（ばく露時間1秒）、1000発（同10秒）、10000発（同100秒））与えた）と擬似ばく露群である。影響評価項目は、認知および記憶の能力（モーリス水迷路試験）、酸化ストレス指標（SOD活性、GSH含有量）、アルツハイマー病関連タンパクの発現とした。その結果、擬似ばく露群に比べばく露群では、モーリス水迷路試験で認知および記憶の障害が見られた；SOD活性およびGSH含有量の低下が見られた；免疫組織化学的染色により、ベータアミロイドタンパク（Aβ）の増加が示された；ウェスタンブロット法により、AβオリゴマーやAβ前駆体の発現増加が示された、などを報告している。

To study whether a single high electromagnetic pulse exposure could induce cognitive and memory impairment, thus finding a possible relationship between electromagnetic pulse exposure and Alzheimer's disease.
40 healthy male rats were divided into 4 groups: 3 exposure groups (100, 1000, and 10,000 pulse application) and 1 sham exposure group. All rats were sacrificed 18 months after the single exposure. 5 rats per group were used for immunohistochemistry, 5 rats for Western blot analysis.

The electromagnetic pulse exposure caused clear cognitive and memory impairment in all exposure groups compared with sham exposure at 18 months after exposure. Determination of oxidative stress indexes showed a decreased superoxide dismutase enzyme activity and glutathione content in exposure groups compared with the sham exposure group (significant only for glutathione). Immunohistochemical staining showed increased beta-amyloid protein in the exposure groups compared with the sham exposure group. Western blot analysis showed increased expressions of the amyloid beta oligomer and beta amyloid protein precursor (APP) in the exposure groups. An increased expression of LC3-II was also found.
The authors conclude that an electromagnetic pulse exposure could cause long-term impairment in cognition and memory of rats, resulting in Alzheimer's disease-like symptoms.
