This paper presents protocols for a systematic review of experimental studies assessing RF-EMF exposure (100 kHz–300 GHz) and outcomes related to male fertility and pregnancy/birth effects. The review will cover three evidence streams: non-human mammal male reproductive outcomes, human sperm exposed in vitro, and in…

This animal study examined prenatal-to-postnatal exposure to a 50-Hz, 3-mT electromagnetic field and ovarian development in female rat offspring. At 42 days of age, the EMF group had higher FSH, lower estradiol, higher iNOS levels/expression, and histological signs of ovarian tissue damage compared with sham. The…

This animal study examined whether prenatal exposure to mobile phone microwaves affects ovarian development in rats. Pregnant rats were exposed to a phone placed under the cage throughout pregnancy, with mostly standby exposure and brief periodic speech-mode exposure. Female pups assessed at 21 days had fewer ovarian…

This animal study examined rat ovaries after chronic exposure to a 3 mT low-frequency electromagnetic field for 4 hours per day over 4 months. Using TEM and TUNEL, the authors report ultrastructural alterations in oocytes and more frequent apoptosis-associated changes in granulosa and corona radiata cells versus…
