Effects of Heat and WiFi (2.4 GHz) Exposure on Rat Cardiovascular System

Abstract

Overview

The study investigates the potential detrimental effects of WiFi (2.4 GHz) on the cardiovascular systems of rats, shedding light on broader implications for human health in the context of wireless communication systems.

Background

• Wireless systems increase lipid peroxidation and oxidation states, presenting adverse biological effects.

Objectives

This research focuses on the histopathological changes in the rat cardiovascular system following exposure to WiFi frequency.

Methods

• Involvement of 32 adult male rats divided into groups: control, WiFi exposure, heat exposure, and combined heat+WiFi.
• Measurement of heart weight, volume, cardiomyocytes nuclei, myocardium volume, and blood markers like glutathione, Total Antioxidant Capacity, and malondialdehyde.

Findings

• Significant increases in heart weight and myocardium volume density in the WiFi exposed group compared to controls.
• Increased levels of malondialdehyde and decreased Total Antioxidant Capacity and glutathione in WiFi exposed rats.

Conclusion

Exposure to 2.4 GHz WiFi can induce structural and oxidative stress changes in the cardiovascular system of rats, potentially mimicking risks in human health scenarios.
