Abstract

Overview

Exploring the protective effects of swimming exercise against liver damage and oxidative stress in rats exposed to electromagnetic radiation (EMR).

Objectives

  • Investigation of hepatic damage caused by EMR and the mitigating effects of swimming exercise.

Methods

  • Study involved 32 rats divided into four groups: Control, EMR, SE, and EMR + SE.
  • Four-week regimen of daily swimming exercise and exposure to EMR from a Wi-Fi router.

Findings

  • Significant liver damage observed in the EMR-exposed group.
  • Swimming exercise mitigated liver damage and improved antioxidant enzyme activity.

Conclusion

Results suggest swimming exercise is effective in reducing the harmful impact of RF-EMR exposure from Wi-Fi on the liver, knocking down the risk and showcasing beneficial health impacts.
