Compared with sham exposure, the exposed rats had a significant decrease in pineal melatonin (P<0.05) and significant increases in whole-brain creatine kinase, caspase 3, and calcium ion concentration (P<0.05).
Compared with controls, oxidative stress markers differed in the 30-min and 60-min exposure groups: SOD and GSH-Px decreased and MDA increased (P<0.05). Noradrenaline and dopamine differed in the 10-min and 60-min groups, with increases in the 10-min group an…
Developing rat brains exposed to 9.9 GHz microwave radiation (square wave modulated at 1 kHz) showed significant increases in calcium ion efflux and ODC activity, and a significant decrease in PKC activity compared with controls.
Rats exposed to microwave radiation had significant body mass reduction versus controls after 20, 40, and 60 days (p<0.001) and showed anxiety-related behavior after 10 days. In irradiated rats, melatonin pretreatment was associated with higher body weight ve…
Male rats exposed to 16.5 GHz microwave radiation for 2 h/day over 35 days showed significant changes in brain protein kinase C activity compared with controls. Electron microscopy indicated an increase in glial cell population after exposure.
In Balb/c mice exposed long-term to either a mobile phone (SAR 0.17–0.37 W/kg, 3 h/day for 8 months) or a wireless DECT base (SAR 0.012–0.028 W/kg, 8 h/day for 8 months), comparative proteomics found significant (p<0.05) altered expression of 143 proteins acr…
NIH/3T3 cells exposed to 916 MHz continuous microwave radiation (2 h/day; 10, 50, or 90 W/m^2) showed changes in morphology and proliferation after 5–8 weeks and formed clones in soft agar after an additional 3–4 weeks depending on exposure intensity. SCID mi…
Rats exposed to 1800 MHz EMF for 45 days showed significant differences in chromosome aberrations, micronucleus frequency, mitotic index, and PCE ratio in all treatment groups. Cytogenotoxic damage was more pronounced in immature rats, and a 15-day recovery p…
Rats exposed to 2.45 GHz EMF (SAR 6 W/kg) showed differential hippocampal gene expression (23 upregulated, 18 downregulated of 2048 genes). HSP27 and HSP70 were increased in the hippocampus, with immunocytochemistry showing more intensive staining particularl…
In rats, acute EMF exposure for 2 h reduced brain catalase and superoxide dismutase activities. EMF combined with movement restraint also decreased reduced glutathione and nitric oxide; EMF exposure did not elevate plasma corticosterone.
This review summarizes in vivo and in vitro evidence (primarily in animal systems) reporting that EMF exposure can alter cellular homeostasis, endocrine and reproductive function, and fetal development. Reported altered reproductive parameters include male ge…
In newborn rats given bleomycin (10 mg/kg BW), co-exposure to 50-Hz, 10-mT EMF increased micronucleated astrocyte frequency versus sham (19.8±5.2‰ vs 12.7±3.3‰; p<0.05). With tempol during EMF + bleomycin co-exposure, micronuclei frequency was lower than with…
In the morning (before work), mean serum cortisol did not differ significantly between controls (189.15 ± 110.70) and EMF-exposed participants (157.77 ± 112.03; P = 0.373). After work (noon), mean serum cortisol was lower in the EMF-exposed group (88.58 ± 52.…
A comparative risk estimation (considering "real conditions of influence") concluded that RF EMF exposure under widespread mobile communication use is potentially more harmful for the population than ionizing radiation influence.

Compared with a parallel control group, exposure to a 50-Hz EMF at 0.4 mT for 15 min or 60 min significantly decreased sperm motility (a+b level) and activity ratio (a+b+c level) (P<0.01). Semen pH was not significantly changed after 15, 30, or 60 min exposur…

FTIR analysis comparing control vs exposed rats indicated that 50 Hz, 0.75 mT ELF-EMF exposure for 20 days was associated with changes in absorption peak positions and intensities in spectra from rat testis, blood, and brain, interpreted as molecular-level ef…

Measurements near 10 dielectric welders at work posts found whole-body field maxima up to E=350 V/m and H=1.00 A/m, and limb maxima up to E=600 V/m and H=3.30 A/m; the exposure indicator W in primary vertical points was almost 60. Induced current I(L) at the …

A case of contact dermatitis attributed to a cell phone cover was confirmed by patch testing with the cover material. Additional positive patch test reactions occurred to multiple allergens in a plastics and glues series, and dermatitis was compounded by seco…
Serum wells exposed to 900 MHz GSM cell phone radiation for 30 minutes showed a statistically significant decrease in measured ferritin compared with unexposed control wells (P = 0.029). Mean ± SD ferritin was 84.94 ± 1.04 μg/L in exposed wells versus 87.25 ±…
