Title | Electromagnetic field exposure-induced depression features could be alleviated by heat acclimation based on remodeling the gut microbiota |
Overall design | In this study, a mouse model of intermittent long-term electromagnetic field exposure was used exposure to explore the adverse biological effects of electromagnetic fields. A mouse model of heat acclimation was used to investigate whether heat acclimation play a protective role in disorders of the central nervous system against electromagnetic field exposure. C57BL/6J mice were divided into the following 3 groups (n = 10 in each group): (1) control group, (2) electromagnetic field exposure group, and (3) electromagnetic field exposure + heat acclimation group. The first stage was 4 weeks and the mice in the control group and electromagnetic field exposure group were housed at ambient temperature (28◦C), while the electromagnetic field exposure with heat acclimation group were housed at 35◦C. The second stage was 5 weeks and the mice in the electromagnetic field exposure groups were exposed to electromagnetic field for 4 h a day. The authors reported that electromagnetic field exposure caused depression-like behavior, while heat acclimation alleviated it. Non-targeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry metabolomics was performed in serum samples to elucidate the potential mechanism by which heat acclimation alleviates the depression features caused by electromagnetic field exposure. |
