Metabolic and genetic screening of electromagnetic hypersensitive subjects as a feasible tool for diagnostics and intervention.

Again in line with MCS, EHS group showed a trend to the increase in erythrocyte CuZnSOD activity and to the depletion of the main lipophilic antioxidants in plasma-reduced coenzyme Q 10 and alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) (Figures 5 and 6 ).

Similarly to those MCS patients self-reportedly nonelectrosensitive, the EHS cohort showed a highly significant-versus-control decrease in the erythrocyte GST activity and an increase in GPX activity levels ( Figure 5 ), coupled with a marked decrease of GSH levels ( Figure 6 ).

The comparative analysis of the fatty acid (FA) profiles in the erythrocyte membranes of the 3 studied groups showed elevated levels of the saturated and monounsaturated fatty acid fraction (SFA) for both environmental-sensitive patients ( Figure 7(a) ) and correspondingly depleted levels of the polyunsaturated fatty acid fraction (PUFA) ( Figure 7(b) ), with both parameters statistically significant at P < 0.05 for MCS patients versus controls, whilst the EHS group differed sensibly from MCS in displaying only a mild trend-to-alteration of fatty acid patterns versus control group.
