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 animal study examined liver outcomes in rat offspring 60 days after prenatal exposure to a 900 MHz electromagnetic field for 24 hours/day during gestation. The exposed group showed biochemical changes consistent with oxidative stress (higher MDA, lower GSH) and elevated liver enzymes (ALT, AST). Histopathology…

This cross-sectional study evaluated the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) test in 58 obese children stratified by ultrasound evidence of liver steatosis. Children with steatosis had higher liver enzymes and a higher ELF value than those with normal ultrasound findings. Despite these differences, the authors report that…
