900 MHz radiofrequency-induced histopathologic changes and oxidative stress in rat endometrium: protection by vitamins E and C.
This rat study examined 900 MHz radiofrequency exposure (30 min/day for 30 days) and reported biochemical and histopathologic changes in endometrial tissue consistent with oxidative stress and tissue injury. The abstract reports increased NO and MDA and decreased antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, CAT, GSH-Px) in exposed rats, alongside apoptosis and inflammatory infiltration. Co-treatment with vitamins E and C was reported to reduce these changes.
Key points
- Study used four rat groups (control, sham, 900 MHz EMR, and 900 MHz EMR plus vitamins E and C), with eight animals per group.
- Exposure was 900 MHz EMR for 30 minutes per day over 30 days using an experimental device.
- EMR exposure was associated with higher endometrial NO and MDA levels in the abstract.
- EMR exposure was associated with lower endometrial SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px activities in the abstract.
- Histopathology in exposed rats reportedly showed diffuse/severe apoptosis in epithelial, glandular, and stromal cells.
- Inflammatory cell infiltration (eosinophilic leucocytes and lymphocytes) was reported in the endometrial stroma after EMR exposure.
- Combined vitamins E and C were reported to reduce oxidative stress markers and lessen histological changes in exposed rats.
