This animal study exposed 108 male Sprague-Dawley rats to 900 MHz EMF (1 mW/cm2) or sham for 14 or 28 days (3 h/day). The authors report that 28-day exposure was associated with impaired spatial memory, BBB permeability damage, and ultrastructural changes in hippocampus and cortex. They also report increased mkp-1…

This animal study exposed male Swiss mice to 2.45 GHz continuous-wave microwave radiation for 2 hours/day over 15, 30, or 60 days. The authors report increased hippocampal oxidative/nitrosative stress and increased apoptosis in neuronal and nonneuronal hippocampal subfields. They also report duration-dependent…

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 animal study examined low-intensity 900 MHz electromagnetic radiation (25 μW/cm2) and its effects on rat brain and blood serum enzymes linked to energy metabolism. The authors report that brain creatine kinase activity was the most radiosensitive among the enzymes measured and propose it as a marker of RF…

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 animal study exposed pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats to a 900 MHz electromagnetic field during the first 20 days of pregnancy and assessed prenatal renal development. The exposed group showed reported histopathological kidney changes and increased caspase-3 staining suggestive of higher apoptosis compared with…

This animal study exposed 12-week-old male Swiss strain mice to non-thermal low-level 2.45-GHz microwave radiation for 2 hours per day over 30 days (SAR 0.018 W/kg). The abstract reports reduced sperm count and viability, testicular structural changes, lower 3β-HSD activity and plasma testosterone, and increased…

This animal study examined 2.45 GHz Wi-Fi exposure in a PTZ-induced epilepsy rat model using freshly isolated hippocampal and DRG neurons. The authors report that epilepsy increased Ca(2+) influx, oxidative stress markers, and apoptosis-related outcomes, and that Wi-Fi exposure produced additional increases in…

This animal study examined oxidative stress and antioxidant defenses in loach embryos exposed to GSM 900 MHz microwave radiation (SAR 1.1 W/kg) for 1–20 minutes during early embryogenesis. The authors report significant changes in lipid peroxidation products and altered antioxidant enzyme activities. They conclude…

This animal study examined prolonged 897 MHz electromagnetic radiation exposure (8 h/day) in first-generation male rats from irradiated parents, with exposure during embryogenesis and postnatal development. The abstract reports fewer births and a sex ratio shift toward more males. It also reports accelerated male…

This animal study tested whether 900 MHz EMF exposure, alone or combined with brain iron overload, affects cognition and brain biochemistry in Long-Evans rats. EMF-exposed rats showed impairment in an object exploration task and changes in monoamine content (notably in the hippocampus), while other spatial…

This animal study measured ROS in Drosophila bodies and ovaries after short- and long-term exposure to DECT base RF (1.88–1.90 GHz; SAR 0.009 W/kg). The abstract reports increased ROS in bodies after 6 h exposure and in ovaries after 0.5–1 h exposure, with apparent saturation under longer continuous exposure. It also…

This animal study examined whether cadmium, EMF exposure, or their combination affects oxidative damage and protein structure in rat plasma. The authors report increased oxidative protein damage markers and changes in protein-related measures after cadmium and/or EMF exposure. Effects were described as more…

This animal study examined in vivo and in vitro effects of weak, low-frequency magnetic fields described as having resonance parameters for calcium ions. The authors report a considerable decrease in activity of calcium-dependent proteinases (calpains) in fish skeletal muscle and brain following exposure. The…
