This animal study exposed adult male rats to 2.45 GHz electromagnetic radiation for 2 hours/day for one month and assessed testicular outcomes. The abstract reports that EMR exposure induced oxidative stress, increased inflammatory markers, and caused histological testicular injury. Alpha-lipoic acid supplementation…

This rat study assessed whether alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) modifies liver effects from extremely low-frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF) exposure. ELF-MF exposure (2 mT, 4 hours/day for 30 days) was associated with increased liver pathology and higher apoptosis markers (TUNEL, caspase-3) compared with other groups. ALA…

This feasibility study tested whether microwave radiation (450 MHz, 40 Hz modulation; 1 g peak spatial average SAR 0.3 W/kg) can induce detectable event-related potentials in EEG. In one subject across four sessions, EEG responses time-locked to exposure offset showed increased alpha-band signal and about a twofold…

This study evaluated whether exposure to EMF from an LTE system (described as equivalent to maximum LTE mobile phone emission) alters resting-state EEG. The abstract reports reduced spectral power and reduced interhemispheric coherence in alpha and beta bands in frontal and temporal regions. It also reports no…

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 volunteer study examined short-term non-thermal RF EMF exposure and reported changes in EEG spectra. The main reported effect was amplification of alpha-range energy, with the magnitude depending on baseline EEG typological features. The abstract also reports that combining RF EMF exposure with monotonous…

This cross-sectional study surveyed 57 participants about perceived proximity to mobile phone base stations, EMF-related concerns, and psychological strain, and also collected saliva biomarkers. Self-declared base station neighbors (≤100 m) showed higher salivary alpha-amylase and higher symptom checklist scores on…

This double-blind, counterbalanced cross-over study investigated whether extremely low frequency (DC to at least 40 kHz) fields emitted by GSM handsets affect resting EEG. In 72 healthy volunteers, the authors report a decrease in the alpha band during 20 minutes of ELF exposure in the exposed hemisphere only. They…

This in vitro study examined whether continuous extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (3 Hz, 4 mT for 3 hours) alter protein expression in human fibroblast cells using proteomics. The authors report that some protein expressions differed between exposed and sham cells. They identify reduced expression (about…

This in vitro study used fluorescence excitation, emission, and polarization spectra to assess structural changes in papain after pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment. Under the reported PEF conditions (50 kV/cm, 1500 Hz, 40 µs pulses, 19,800 pulses), papain activity decreased by 56.5%. Spectral changes (increased…
