Effects of electromagnetic field produced by mobile phones on the oxidant and antioxidant status of rats.
This rat study examined whether EMR from GSM mobile phones affects oxidant/antioxidant status. Compared with controls, exposed rats had lower plasma antioxidant vitamins (C, E, A), reduced glutathione, and lower CAT and SOD activities. The acute exposure condition was reported to produce larger decreases than the fractionated exposure condition.
Key points
- Animal experiment assessing antioxidant-related biomarkers after GSM mobile phone EMR exposure.
- Rats were assigned to control, fractionated exposure (15 min/day for four days), or acute exposure groups.
- Plasma vitamin C, E, and A levels were reported to decrease in exposed groups versus controls.
- Reduced glutathione (GSH) levels were reported to decrease after exposure.
- Catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were reported to decrease after exposure.
- The acute exposure group was reported to show greater reductions than the fractionated exposure group.
