This rat study exposed animals to a 50 Hz, 3 mT electromagnetic field and assessed oxidative stress markers and substantia nigra ultrastructure. EMF exposure was associated with higher lipid peroxidation (MDA), lower SOD activity, and TEM-detected changes in nucleus/nuclear membrane and myelin sheath. Vitamin E…

This animal study evaluated histopathological effects of 900-MHz RF-EMF exposure on the rat cerebellum. The exposed group showed intense caspase-3 expression in Purkinje and granular cells and histological changes consistent with apoptosis. Cerebellar layer thickness appeared reduced in exposed animals, although…

This NTP technical report describes long-term rat studies exposing animals to 900 MHz GSM and CDMA-modulated radiofrequency radiation at whole-body SAR levels of 0, 1.5, 3, and 6 W/kg, including exposure beginning before birth. The abstract reports NTP concluded there was "clear evidence" for malignant schwannoma of…

This animal study examined whether long-term 900 MHz GSM-like microwave exposure affects experimentally induced cutaneous candidiasis in BALB/c mice. Exposed mice reportedly had delayed wound healing and higher Candida loads in skin lesions compared with unexposed mice. Following systemic Candida challenge, exposed…

This narrative review proposes that low-intensity microwave/lower-frequency EMFs activate plasma membrane calcium channels in animals, increasing intracellular calcium and triggering downstream signaling including oxidative stress pathways. It further suggests that EMF actions in terrestrial multicellular plants are…

This animal study evaluated repeated 1800 MHz EMF exposure (5 × 15 minutes) on lipid peroxidation (MDA) in Wistar rats, including healthy animals and those with CFA-induced inflammation, with and without tramadol. The authors report slightly elevated MDA in blood, brain, and kidneys in EMF-exposed conditions,…

This experimental animal study examined RF EMF effects on reproduction in CBA mice and on the morphofunctional status of their offspring under two exposure models. The authors report that repeated short-term RF EMF exposure (5 days, 10 minutes per day, 1.2 mW/cm2) affected pregnancy course, litter number, fertility,…

This rat EEG study reports that weak electromagnetic fields elicited evoked potentials in awake animals but not under anesthesia that included ketamine. Xylazine anesthesia did not eliminate EMF-evoked potentials, whereas ketamine (an NMDA receptor antagonist) was associated with absence of both EMF-evoked and…

This study examined whether weak low-frequency magnetic fields affect Ca2+-dependent proteinases (calpains) in fish and invertebrates using in vivo and in vitro experiments. The authors report a significant decrease in calpain activity in animals exposed to a field tuned to Ca2+ parametric resonance, and substantial…

This article reviews epidemiological and experimental evidence on electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones in humans and animals. It focuses in detail on potential effects on children. The abstract reports that children are more sensitive to this type of exposure than adults.
