Extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MFs) are ubiquitously present in various environments of everyday life. While surveys from the World Health Organization (WHO) have not demonstrated the existence of ELF-MF-induced harmful consequences in healthy subjects, whether older adults are more vulnerable to the effects of residential and occupational ELF-MF exposure, and therefore may be at risk, remains unsettled. Here, we explored this potential health issue by investigating, in aged mice, the effects of chronic exposure to ELF-MFs (50 Hz ELF-MF at 1 mT for 8 h/day, 5 days/week for 12 consecutive weeks) on cognitive functions and expression profile of brain markers typically associated with aggravated aging or the development of Alzheimer`s disease (AD). Sham-exposed mice showed a significant age-related decline in spatial memory functions compared to young adult mice. However, this expected pattern was neither exacerbated nor counteracted by chronic exposure to ELF-MFs. No difference in hippocampal expression of APP-695, Aβ, S100b and GFAP proteins or in the pTau/Tau ratio was observed between sham- and ELF-MF-exposed aged mice, suggesting that chronic exposure to ELF-MFs does not aggravate aging and associated neuroinflammation, or promote pathological pathways involved in the initiation of AD. Because care should be taken in extrapolating these results to older adults with various comorbidities, applying current exposure limits to existing or new sensitive ELF-MF locations is recommended.
极低频磁场(ELF-MFs)普遍存在于日常生活的各种环境中。虽然世界卫生组织(WHO)的调查尚未证明ELF-MFs在健康受试者中会导致有害后果,但老年人是否更容易受到居住和职业性ELF-MF暴露的影响,从而可能处于风险之中,这一问题仍未解决。在此,我们通过研究慢性暴露于ELF-MFs(50Hz、1mT的ELF-MF,每天8小时,每周5天,连续12周)对老年小鼠认知功能以及通常与衰老加剧或阿尔茨海默病(AD)发展相关的脑标志物表达谱的影响,来探讨这一潜在的健康问题。与年轻成年小鼠相比,假暴露小鼠的空间记忆功能出现了明显的与年龄相关的衰退。然而,这种预期模式既没有因慢性暴露于ELF-MFs而加剧,也没有被其抵消。在假暴露和ELF-MF暴露的老年小鼠之间,未观察到APP-695、Aβ、S100b和GFAP蛋白的海马表达或pTau/Tau比值存在差异,这表明慢性暴露于ELF-MFs不会加剧衰老和相关的神经炎症,也不会促进AD发病初期涉及的病理途径。由于将这些结果外推至患有各种合并症的老年人时应谨慎,因此建议将当前的暴露限值应用于现有的或新的ELF-MF敏感场所。
