Effect of RFEMR on NSE and MDA levels in Sprague Dawley rats
Abstract
Overview
The study investigates the impact of Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Radiations (RFEMR) emitted from mobile phones on neural and oxidative stress indicators in laboratory rats.
Methodology
Twelve male Sprague Dawley rats aged 10-12 weeks, weighing between 180-220 grams, were exposed to RFEMR. These rats were procured from registered laboratory breeders and maintained in conditions with a 12:12 hour light-dark cycle, unlimited food, and reverse osmosis water.
Findings
- Increased Stress Markers: Exposure to RFEMR resulted in a significant increase in Neuron-Specific Enolase (NSE) and Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, indicating heightened neural activity and oxidative stress.
- Health Implications: This elevation suggests potential oxidative damage and stress responses, triggered by mobile phone radiation.
Conclusion
This research substantiates concerns over the health risks associated with RFEMR from mobile phones, emphasizing the need for further investigations into its long-term impact on biological systems.
