Abstract

Abstract Overview

The biological effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF), emitted from devices like mobile phones, continue to be an important subject of study due to the prevalence of infertility, which often is related to male factors.

Main Findings

• Exposure to 900MHz radiation was analyzed in vitro on parameters such as sperm motility, morphology, and genetic integrity among others.
• Significant reductions in sperm motility were observed with 30 minutes of EMF exposure.
• Increased expression of p-AKT was noted after 1 hour of EMF exposure.
• No significant changes were observed in morphology, acrosomal index, genetic status, apopotic markers except for PI3K expression rates.
• Notable negative effects included increased vacuolisation, acrosomal defects, and disrupted axoneme in exposed groups compared to control.

Conclusions

This research initiates important discussions on the impacts of EMF on sperm health using molecular approaches and highlights potential areas for deeper investigation into the mechanisms of fertility related to EM radiation exposure.
