この研究は、超低周波電磁界（ELF-EMFs）へのばく露による酸化ストレス指標（尿中の8-ソプラスタンおよび8-OHdG）の変化、およびELF-EMFsに誘導された酸化ストレスへの緑茶ポリフェノールサプリメント（GTPS）の保護効果の可能性をボランティア実験で調べた。110-420kV電力線からのELF-EMFsばく露有りおよび無しの労働者（合計n=867）をそれぞれ無作為にGTPS摂取群とプラセボ摂取群に割り当てた。その結果、ELF-EMFsばく露有りの労働者群では尿中の8-ソプラスタンおよび8-OHdGが有意に上昇していたが、GTPSの12ヵ月間投与後にこの上昇は消失した；GTPSの投与停止から3ヵ月後にGTPSの酸化ストレス保護作用は見られなかった、と報告している。

研究目的（著者による）

The effects of occupational exposure to high-voltage power lines (50/60 Hz) on oxidative stress and oxidative DNA damage in workers urine and the protective effect of green tea polyphenols should be investigated.

詳細情報

Several studies have found a protective effect of green tea polyphenols against oxidative damage, what should now be tested in electro-magnetic field exposure.
Participants consisted of substation workers with occupational exposure to 110-420 kV lines as exposed subjects and subjects who work in administration as non-exposed subjects. Both groups were randomly divided into two subgroups: placebo and green tea polyphenol supplementation (GTPS) for 12 months. The capsules were orally administered twice daily and contained 250 mg of green tea extract without caffeine. The following groups were used in the study: 1) occupational exposure and placebo (n=67), 2) no exposure and placebo (n=54), 3) occupational exposure and GTPS (n=123), 4) no exposure and GTPS (n=77).

研究の主なアウトカム（著者による）

Prior to the GTPS treatment, subjects from the exposure groups (groups 1 and 3) showed significantly higher levels of oxidative stress and oxidative DNA damage compared to the control groups (groups 2 and 4). After 12 months of GTPS treatment (group 3), the values were significantly reduced compared to the initial value, while there were no significant changes observed in the placebo group (group 1).
3 months after the end of GTPS treatment, oxidative stress and DNA damage were again increased to the initial levels before GTPS treatment in group 3, which revealed the reversible effect of GTPS.
The authors conclude that occupational exposure to high-voltage power lines (50/60 Hz) might induce oxidative stress and oxidative DNA damage and that green tea polyphenol supplementation might protect against these effects.
