Abstract

Overview

This study assesses the levels of various salivary and urinary markers in patients with electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) compared to a healthy control group.

Materials and Methods

• Analysis included 30 EHS individuals and 25 matched controls.
• Markers analyzed: cortisol, alpha amylase (sAA), immunoglobulin A, C Reactive Protein, and neopterin.

Findings

Significantly higher levels of saliva alpha amylase (sAA) were found in the EHS group, suggesting activation of the sympathetic adrenal medullar system. Other markers showed no significant variation.

Conclusion

The study reveals that while most immune and circadian rhythm markers remain unaffected, there is a distinct increase in sAA levels in EHS individuals, potentially implicating prolonged sympathetic activation related possibly to chronic EMF exposure.
