The Effects of Melatonin on Oxidative Stress Parameters and DNA Fragmentation in Testicular Tissue of Rats Exposed to Microwave Radiation

掲載誌: Adv Clin Exp Med 2015; 24 (3): 429-436

この研究は、マイクロ波ばく露(4時間/日)を受けたラット精巣組織における酸化ストレスパラメータおよびDNA断片化に対するメラトニン処置の影響を評価した。成獣ウィスターラットを4群に分けた:生食投与群、メラトニン投与群、マイクロ波ばく露群、マイクロ波ばく露メラトニン投与群。処置後20、40、60日目に屠殺して、精巣組織を検査した。その結果、メラトニンの抗酸化作用により、マイクロ波ばく露を受けた精巣での酸化ストレスの強度低下およびDNA断片化の減少が見られた、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 (GSM) on oxidative stress in the testes should be investigated and if an administration of melatonin prevents these effects.

詳細情報

Rats were divided into the following groups (n=21 each): 1) GSM exposure, 2) melatonin group (intraperitoneal injection of 2 mg/kg melatonin), 3) co-exposure (melatonin injection and GSM exposure), 4) control group (injection with saline).
After 20, 40 and 60 days, 7 rats from each group were sacrificed and analyzed, respectively.

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

After 20 days, only the lipid peroxidation and the enzyme activity of the alkaline DNase were significantly increased and the enzyme activity of the catalase was significantly reduced in the testes of GSM exposed mice (group 1) compared to the control group (group 4). After 40 and 60 days, the lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation and enzyme activities of xanthine oxidase, alkaline and acid DNase were significantly increased and the enzyme activity of the catalase was significantly reduced in GSM exposed mice compared to the control group.
Co-exposure to the GSM field and melatonin (group 3) significantly reduced lipid peroxidation, xanthine oxidase and acid DNAse enzyme activities compared to the GSM exposure group.
Mice injected with melatonin only (group 2) showed a significantly reduced acid DNAse enzyme activity after 20-60 days compared to the control group.
The authors conclude that exposure of rats to a 900 MHz electromagnetic field (GSM) could induce oxidative stress in the testes and that melatonin might attenuate the effect.
