The influence of electromagnetic radiation generated by a mobile phone on the skeletal system of rats

掲載誌: Biomed Res Int 2015: 896019

この研究は、雄ラット携帯電話からの900MHz電磁界を28日間ばく露し、骨格系への影響を調べた。検査項目は、巨視的な骨パラメータ、長骨の機械的特性、骨のカルシウムおよびリンの含有量、オステオカルシンおよび骨吸収マーカの血中濃度である。その結果、巨視的な骨パラメータには影響が見られなかったが、その他の検査項目には変化が見られた、と報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

The effects of exposure of rats to a 900 MHz electromagnetic field on the properties of bones and on bone metabolism parameters in the blood should be investigated.

詳細情報

20 rats were divided into the following groups (n=10 each): 1) exposure and 2) sham exposure.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

No significant differences regarding weight and proportions of bones could be detected between the exposure and sham exposure group.
In the tibia, the energy at the maximum bending force was significantly increased in the exposure group compared to the sham exposure group and at the same time, the stress at the maximum bending force and at fracture were significantly reduced. The authors see these results as an indication of a possible lower susceptibility of exposed bones to external forces.
The total and relative amount (ratio to the amount of phosphorus) of calcium was significantly increased in the tibia after exposure compared to the sham exposure group.
The amount of osteocalcin was significantly increased in the blood serum of exposed animals compared to the sham exposure group after 1 week of exposure, as was the amount of pyridinoline after 4 weeks of exposure.
The authors conclude that exposure of rats to a 900 MHz electromagnetic field has no impact on the macrometrical properties of bones but could alter mineralization and the bone metabolism, which in turn might alter the mechanical bone properties.
