The International Collaborative Animal Study of Mobile Phone Radiofrequency Radiation Carcinogenicity and Genotoxicity: The Japanese Study

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2026

This international collaborative animal study (Japanese arm) evaluated carcinogenicity and genotoxicity in male Sprague Dawley rats exposed long-term to 900 MHz CDMA-modulated RF-EMFs at 4 W/kg whole-body SAR. The abstract reports no statistically significant increases in neoplastic or non-neoplastic lesions in major…

NTP Lite: The Japan-Korea Collaborative RF Exposure Toxicity Project [Health Matters]

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This magazine article reviews the Japan-Korea "NTP Lite" RF animal toxicity collaboration and its relationship to prior NTP (2018) and Ramazzini Institute reports of RF-associated tumors in male rats. It notes NTP Lite used a single whole-body SAR of 4 W/kg and completed a two-year exposure phase in 2022, but final…

Effect of the radiation emitted from a cell phone on T lymphocytes in mice

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This mouse study examined whether cell phone radiation affects T lymphocytes over 2–8 weeks of exposure. CD4 and CD8 subset percentages were similar across groups, but after more than six weeks, exposed groups showed increased T-cell apoptosis and reduced transformation rates compared with shams. The study also…

Impairment of Oogenesis and Folliculogenesis in Neonatal Rats after Maternal Exposure to Mobile Phones

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2025

This animal study examined maternal mobile phone exposure during different gestational windows in Wistar rats and assessed ovarian development and hormones in neonatal offspring. Compared with sham (phone off), exposed groups (standby and conversation/standby) were reported to have lower neonatal estrogen and…

Effect of Repeated Exposure to Complexly Organized Electromagnetic Radiation on the Rat Behavior in the "Open Field" Test

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2024

This animal study examined repeated pulsed-modulated RF exposure (1–4 GHz; total pulse power density 300 μW/cm2) in male and female Wistar rats and assessed behavior using the open field test. The abstract reports stress reactions and long-term memory impairment in some rats, with females described as more sensitive…

Hazardous effects of high voltage electromagnetic field on albino rats and protective role of Rosmarinus officinalis.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2022

This animal study examined effects of a 50 Hz high-voltage electromagnetic field (5.4 kV/m) applied 2 or 4 hours per day for 25 days in albino rats. The authors report decreases in RBC, haemoglobin, and catalase activity, with increases in WBCs, liver enzymes, bilirubin, kidney-related markers, and malondialdehyde…

Effect of Exposure to a Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Field on Body Temperature in Anesthetized and Non-Anesthetized Rats.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2020

This animal study examined whether anesthesia and body mass modify body temperature responses to 915 MHz RF exposure at 4 W/kg whole-body SAR for 8 hours. Non-anesthetized, free-moving rats showed no significant temperature change during exposure. In contrast, anesthetized rats showed marked temperature increases,…

Radiofrequency electromagnetic field affects heart rate variability in rabbits.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2020

This double-blind animal study examined whether RF EMF exposure slightly exceeding occupational limits affects heart rate variability in rabbits. Across two exposure setups (device-generated RF and real base-station downlink signals), the authors report increased HRV indices (HF-HRV and rMSSD) alongside lower heart…

Decreased dopamine in striatum and difficult locomotor recovery from MPTP insult after exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2019

This animal study reports that chronic RF-EMF exposure (835 MHz, SAR 4.0 W/kg, 5 h/day for 12 weeks) affected striatal neuronal markers in C57BL/6 mice. The authors observed reductions in synaptic vesicle-related measures and dopaminergic markers, including dopamine concentration and tyrosine hydroxylase expression.…

Age-dependent effect of long-term microwave radiation on postnatal neurogenesis in rats: morphological and behavioral study.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2018

This animal study examined pulsed-wave 2.45 GHz microwave radiation exposure (1 or 3 hours daily for 3 weeks) in adult and juvenile rats and assessed neurogenesis-related markers in the rostral migratory stream. The authors report reduced cell proliferation in adults and longer-lasting effects on cell death after…

Effects of electromagnetic fields on bone loss in hyperthyroidism rat model.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2017

This animal study evaluated whether extremely low frequency EMF exposure affects bone loss in a levothyroxine-induced hyperthyroidism rat model. Rats exposed to 15 Hz/1 mT EMF plus levothyroxine showed improved bone mineral density, mechanical measures, and partially restored trabecular bone architecture compared…

No adverse effects detected for simultaneous whole-body exposure to multiple-frequency radiofrequency electromagnetic fields for rats in the intrauterine and pre- and post-weaning periods.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2017

This animal study exposed pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats and their offspring to simultaneous whole-body multifrequency RF signals spanning 800 MHz to 5.2 GHz. Exposure occurred 20 hours per day from gestational day 7 to weaning, with F1 offspring exposed up to 6 weeks of age. Across multiple endpoints including growth,…

Protective effects of melatonin and omega-3 on the hippocampus and the cerebellum of adult Wistar albino rats exposed to electromagnetic fields.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2017

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…

[The specific features of the development of metabolic and regenerative processes under the action of low-intensity electromagnetic radiation in radiation exposure conditions (an experimental study)].

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2017

This animal experimental study reports that low-intensity ultrahigh-frequency electromagnetic radiation and a low-intensity low-frequency magnetic field, applied after radiation exposure, enhanced metabolic and regenerative processes in rat testes and liver. The magnetic field was associated with increased…

Effects of electromagnetic field (1.8/0.9 GHz) exposure on growth plate in growing rats.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2016

This animal study examined whole-body RF-EMF exposure (900 or 1800 MHz) for 2 hours/day over 90 days in growing male rats, compared with sham controls.

Effects of electromagnetic field produced by mobile phones on the oxidant and antioxidant status of rats.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2007

This rat study examined whether EMR from GSM mobile phones affects oxidant/antioxidant status.
