The effect of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) on biomarkers of oxidative stress in vivo and in vitro: A protocol for a systematic review
Abstract
Abstract Summary
Background: Oxidative stress is linked to many diseases, and it's hypothesized that exposure to radiofrequency fields might induce oxidative stress in various cell types, potentially compromising health.
Overview
This systematic review aims to summarize and critically evaluate the literature assessing the potential health risks associated with RF-EMF exposure and its relation to oxidative stress in experimental models.
Objectives
The primary objective is to assess the connection between RF-EMF exposure and oxidative stress in in vivo and in vitro models.
Methods
- Review guided by WHO and other relevant handbooks
- Inclusion of controlled lab studies
- Comprehensive database search and manual review of references
- Data synthesis through meta-analysis or narrative description
Risk Assessment
Risk of bias evaluated using standard tools; Grading of evidence strength with GRADE.
Funding and Registration
Funded by WHO, protocol registered in PROSPERO.
