Abstract

Mature female rats and their subsequent litters were exposed either to 112- or to 150-kV/m, 60-Hz electric fields or sham-exposed for 19 h daily through pre-breeding, breeding, and rearing periods of experimentation. Exposed females mated in equal percentages and reared litters of equal numbers, and mean body masses of pups were the same as those of sham-exposed animals. Thus, experiments to investigate electric-field effects on reproduction and development in rats are feasible at effective field strengths of 112 and 150 kV/m.

摘要

成年雌性大鼠及其后代在整个预繁殖、繁殖和饲养实验期间，每天接受112千伏/米或150千伏/米、60赫兹的电场照射19小时，或进行假照射。接受照射的雌性大鼠交配比例相同，哺育的幼崽数量相同，幼崽的平均体重与假照射动物的相同。因此，在112和150千伏/米的有效场强下，研究电场对大鼠生殖和发育影响的实验是可行的。
