Male Reproductive and Cellular Damage After Prenatal 3.5 GHz Radiation Exposure: One-Year Postnatal Effects

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This animal study examined whether prenatal exposure to 3.5 GHz radiofrequency radiation (2 hours/day) affects male reproductive outcomes later in life.

The effect on rat peripheral nerve morphology and function of a 900-MHz electromagnetic field applied in the prenatal period

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This animal study exposed pregnant Sprague Dawley rats to a 900 MHz electromagnetic field for 1 hour daily throughout gestation and assessed offspring outcomes postnatally. Sciatic nerve analyses at postnatal day 60 indicated persistent morphological alterations attributed to prenatal EMF exposure. However, the…

Effect of 900 MHz Electromagnetic Field Exposure During Different Trimesters of Pregnancy on TRPM2-Mediated Ferroptosis and Neurotoxicity in the Trigeminal Ganglion of Rats: Protective Role of Ferrostatin-1.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This animal study examined prenatal 900 MHz EMF exposure during different pregnancy trimesters and measured oxidative stress, inflammatory, apoptotic, and TRPM2-related markers in rat offspring trigeminal ganglia at postnatal day 28. The abstract reports increased oxidative stress/lipid peroxidation, inflammation,…

Melatonin and omega-3 neuroprotection in prenatal rat spinal cord exposed to 900 MHz electromagnetic field.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This animal study examined prenatal 900 MHz EMF exposure (2 hours/day for 21 days) in pregnant rats and assessed spinal cord outcomes in male offspring at postnatal day 35. Volume-based stereological measures (GM/WM ratios and total spinal cord volume) did not differ significantly between groups. Microscopy reported…

Exposure to Radiofrequency Induces Synaptic Dysfunction in Cortical Neurons Causing Learning and Memory Alteration in Early Postnatal Mice.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2024

This animal study examined 1850 MHz RF-EMF exposure (SAR 4.0 W/kg) in early postnatal mice and assessed synaptic and behavioral outcomes. The abstract reports reductions in dendritic spine maturation markers, decreases in PSD-95 puncta, inhibited neurite outgrowth, and downregulation of synapse-related genes in…

Effect of prenatal exposure to stress and extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field on hippocampal and serum BDNF levels in male adult rat offspring.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2024

This rat study examined prenatal stress, prenatal ELF-EMF exposure, and their combination on adult male offspring outcomes at postnatal day 90. Prenatal stress increased serum corticosterone but did not change spatial memory, while combined stress+ELF-EMF disrupted memory acquisition. ELF-EMF exposure was associated…

Exposure to RF-EMF Alters Postsynaptic Structure and Hinders Neurite Outgrowth in Developing Hippocampal Neurons of Early Postnatal Mice.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2021

This animal and primary neuron culture study exposed early postnatal mice to whole-body RF-EMF (SAR 4.0 W/kg) for 5 hours/day from P1 to P28. The authors report reductions in dendritic spine measures (notably mushroom-type spines), decreased glutamate receptor expression in mushroom-type spines, and lower BDNF…

The effects of prenatal and postnatal exposure to electromagnetic field on rat ovarian tissue.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2020

This animal study examined prenatal-to-postnatal exposure to a 50-Hz, 3-mT electromagnetic field and ovarian development in female rat offspring. At 42 days of age, the EMF group had higher FSH, lower estradiol, higher iNOS levels/expression, and histological signs of ovarian tissue damage compared with sham. The…

Early exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields at 1850 MHz affects auditory circuits in early postnatal mice.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2019

This animal study examined early postnatal mice after exposure to 1850 MHz RF-EMF and measured synaptic activity in brainstem auditory circuitry. The abstract reports increased spontaneous postsynaptic current frequency and amplitude in MNTB principal cells, with accompanying presynaptic changes in the calyx of Held…

Effects of 900-MHz electromagnetic fields exposure throughout middle/late adolescence on the kidney morphology and biochemistry of the female rat.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2018

This animal study examined kidney effects in female rats exposed to continuous 900 MHz EMF for 1 hour daily during postnatal days 35–59. The authors report multiple histopathological alterations in kidneys of the EMF-exposed group, while control and sham groups showed no pathology. TOS and OSI were reported to be…

Continuous 900-megahertz electromagnetic field applied in middle and late-adolescence causes qualitative and quantitative changes in the ovarian morphology, tissue and blood biochemistry of the rat.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2018

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.…
