This rat study examined 900 MHz EMF exposure for 60 minutes per day over 15 days and assessed hippocampal and cerebellar outcomes, behavior, and serum enzyme activity. The EMF-only group showed significant neuronal cell losses in multiple brain regions and worse passive avoidance performance compared with other…

This animal study examined whether omega-3 modifies adrenal gland changes in rats exposed to 900 MHz electromagnetic fields. Rats exposed 60 minutes/day for 15 days showed significantly increased adrenal gland volume versus controls. Omega-3 co-treatment was associated with significantly lower adrenal gland volume…

This in vitro study evaluated adult murine neural stem cells exposed to GSM 900-MHz radiofrequency emissions from a mobile phone across different exposure durations. The authors report significant decreases in neurosphere number/size and neuronal differentiation with increasing exposure duration. They report no…

This exploratory survey study assessed the association between mobile phone radiation exposure and thyroid function among 83 undergraduate medical students in South India. The authors report a significant correlation between total radiation exposure and higher TSH levels, seen in students both with and without a…

This in vitro study used voltage clamp recordings of single OmpF porin channels in an artificial bilayer to test effects of UHF EMF (910–990 MHz). The authors report frequency-dependent changes in channel gating, with increased gating frequency and voltage sensitivity and a maximum effect at 930 MHz. Conductance was…

This cross-sectional study assessed auditory brainstem responses in 173 long-term mobile phone users aged about 17–39 years. The authors report significant differences in ABR wave and interpeak latencies across age groups, with prolonged average wave I–V latencies in the 20–29 year group. They interpret the latency…

This prospective single-blinded study assessed hearing above 8 kHz among prolonged mobile phone users using high-frequency audiometry. Because few non-users were available, the study compared each participant’s dominant (phone-used) ear with the non-dominant ear, with the audiologist blinded to dominance. The authors…

This animal study exposed male Fischer-344 rats to 900 MHz or 1800 MHz microwave radiation for 30 days (2 h/day) and compared outcomes to sham exposure. The authors report significant cognitive impairment along with increased oxidative stress in brain tissue in exposed rats. They also report increased inflammatory…

This study assessed whether mobile phone radiofrequency exposure during a 40-second ringing period alters ECG parameters in 356 participants across cardiac disease groups, with gender stratification. The authors report QTc prolongation in males across groups, including males with ischemic heart disease, and…

This experimental study exposed Spirostomum ambiguum infusoria to 1 GHz radiofrequency fields at 5 and 50 μW/cm² and reports reduced motor activity. The effect was described as threshold-like, appearing after a certain exposure duration and not increasing with longer exposure. The authors report different 'safe'…

This review-style article provides an overview of mobile phone radiation exposure in India and discusses potential health hazards in terms of thermal and non-thermal effects. It states that usage behaviors such as longer call duration and predominantly one-sided use are described as key risks increasing the…

This rat study examined whether EMR from GSM mobile phones affects oxidant/antioxidant status. Compared with controls, exposed rats had lower plasma antioxidant vitamins (C, E, A), reduced glutathione, and lower CAT and SOD activities. The acute exposure condition was reported to produce larger decreases than the…

This rat study examined 900 MHz radiofrequency exposure (30 min/day for 30 days) and reported biochemical and histopathologic changes in endometrial tissue consistent with oxidative stress and tissue injury. The abstract reports increased NO and MDA and decreased antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, CAT, GSH-Px) in…
