Abstract

Overview

Introduction: The increase in use of electromagnetic devices (EMD) raises concerns, particularly about their impact on the hippocampus. Regular physical exercises are highlighted as safe, inexpensive, and effective for long-term use. It is noted that exercise protects against many health risks.

Aim

The study aims to investigate the hypothesis that physical exercise can have a prophylactic effect on hippocampal damage induced by electromagnetic waves from Wi-Fi.

Material and Methods

  • Subjects: Adult male albino rats.
  • Groups: Control, Exercise, Wi-Fi exposure, and Exercise with Wi-Fi exposure.
  • Approach: Use of biochemical, histological, and immunohistochemical techniques.

Findings

Significant oxidative stress and neuronal degradation were observed in the hippocampus of Wi-Fi-exposed rats. Conversely, physical exercise alleviated these effects, preserving hippocampal structure and enhancing neurogenesis.

Conclusion

Regular physical exercise significantly reduces hippocampal damage and protects against the risks associated with chronic exposure to Wi-Fi radiation.
