This laboratory study examined cation transport and intracellular ion levels in a yeast strain (K667) with controlled expression of the plant cation/H+ exchanger AtCAX5 under metallic stress and ELF magnetic-field exposure. Cultures exposed to 60 Hz, 0.1 mT sinusoidal or square-wave magnetic fields showed increased…

This animal experiment assessed whether long-duration 4G-LTE mobile phone electromagnetic field exposure affects spermatogenesis in male rats. After 1 month, the highest exposure condition (3 cm distance, 18 h/day) had reduced spermatid, spermatogonia, total germ cell, and Leydig cell counts compared with sham and…

This animal study examined whether 50 Hz electromagnetic field exposure (7 mT) affects heat-escape behavior and oxidative balance in American cockroaches. The authors report increased latency to escape from noxious heat after 24 h, 72 h, and 7 days of exposure. Biomarkers suggested oxidative stress, with elevated…

This in vitro study examined whether selenium supplementation modifies oxidative stress and apoptosis markers in HEK293 cells exposed to 2.4 GHz EMF. The authors report that EMF exposure increased lipid peroxidation (MDA) and apoptosis-related markers while decreasing antioxidant enzyme activities and bcl-2 versus…

This animal study examined 1800 MHz EMF exposure during chick embryogenesis and assessed development, malformations, organ measures, and stress-related biomarkers. The authors report earlier pipping and hatching without an increase in malformations or changes in chick quantity/quality. They also report decreased…

This animal study exposed adolescent female rats to a 900-MHz electromagnetic field for 1 hour per day from postnatal days 35 to 59 and assessed ovarian histology and biochemical markers. The EMF group showed multiple histopathological changes in ovarian tissue and had fewer secondary follicles than the other groups.…

This animal study exposed turkeys to ELF electromagnetic fields (50 Hz, 10 μT) for 3 weeks and assessed norepinephrine-activated β-adrenoceptor function via cAMP measurements over time. The authors report a time-dependent decrease in β-adrenoceptor function in exposed birds, while serum toxicological parameters…

This animal study exposed Wistar rats to microwave radiation (30 mW/cm for 6 minutes, three times per week for six weeks) and assessed cognition, hippocampal dendritic spines, ultrastructure, and SNK-SPAR pathway molecules. The authors report impaired spatial learning and memory, dendritic spine loss/shrinkage, and…

This rat study examined whether microwave radiation affects Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling in testis. The authors report increased TLR2-5 expression and elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α) after microwave exposure. Key phosphorylated components of TLR signaling (including NF-κB p65) were also…

This animal study used an in vivo microwave exposure model (30 mW/cm) and reports reversible neuronal injuries in rats. The authors observed cognitive impairment and synaptic plasticity injury in hippocampal neurons following exposure. Autophagy was activated, and autophagosomes showed increased association with…

This animal study examined 2.45 GHz microwave exposure in male Swiss albino mice for 2 hours per day over 30 days. The authors report increased oxidative stress markers and reduced antioxidant enzymes and testosterone in exposed mice versus sham controls. They also report micronuclei formation in blood and…

This animal study exposed 12-week-old male mice to 2.45 GHz continuous-wave microwave radiation (average power density 0.0248 mW/cm; whole-body SAR 0.0146 W/kg) for 2 hours/day over 15, 30, or 60 days. The authors evaluated testicular histology, testosterone, oxidative/nitrosative stress markers, antioxidant enzymes,…
