microcurrent electrical stimulation lowers oxidative DNA damage markers in immune cells
Microcurrent electrical stimulation markedly reduced 8-OHdG (a biomarker of oxidative DNA damage) levels in LPS-stimulated macrophages, indicating reduced oxidative stress.
What this means for you
Oxidative DNA damage is one of the ways chronic inflammation quietly wears down your cells over time. When this marker drops, it suggests your cells are under less oxidative stress — which is linked to better recovery, slower cellular aging, and a more balanced immune response.
The published research
Activation of the pentose phosphate pathway by microcurrent stimulation mediates antioxidant effects in inflammation-stimulated macrophages.
