Abstract

Overview

The objective of this investigation was to meticulously explore the influence of a 50 Hz electric field on brain and blood tissues, making use of both immunohistochemical and varied scientific techniques.

Methods and Materials

The study utilized male Wistar-Albino rats which were divided into three distinct groups:

• Control group,
• Group exposed to electric field,
• Group exposed to 50 Hz electric field plus juglone.

Juglone treatment involved daily administration via gavage across a total period of 30 days.

Findings

Results uncovered significant histopathological changes in the brains of rats subjected to the 50 Hz electric field. The experiment highlighted substantial variations across groups, as evidenced by statistically significant differences in total comet scores.

Blood analysis also revealed that SOD activity levels in the electric field exposure group were markedly higher in comparison to other groups, despite no significant changes detected in MDA or CAT activity levels.

Conclusion

This study offers compelling evidence about the damages and biochemical disruptions caused by 50 Hz electric field exposures on both brain and blood tissues, presenting a clear risk to biological integrity and health.
