Evaluation of the Thyroids of Offsprings Exposed to 2450 MHz Radiofrequency Radiation During Pregnancy: A Sixth Month Data
This animal study examined whether continuous prenatal exposure to 2450 MHz radiofrequency radiation (simulating Wi‑Fi) affects thyroid tissue in rat offspring at 6 months. The exposed group showed significantly increased mononuclear cell infiltration and vascular congestion in thyroid histology. TUNEL-positive cell percentage and H2A.X antibody levels did not differ significantly between groups.
Key points
- Pregnant rats were exposed to 2450 MHz RFR in pulse wave mode for 24 hours/day during pregnancy.
- Offspring thyroids were evaluated at the end of the sixth month using histopathological and biochemical measures.
- Mononuclear cell infiltration and vascular congestion were significantly higher in the exposed group than controls.
- TUNEL-positive cell percentage did not show a statistically significant difference between groups.
- H2A.X antibody levels did not show a statistically significant difference between groups.
- The findings indicate some tissue-level thyroid changes after prenatal RFR exposure, with other damage markers not differing in this study.
