Abstract

Overview

The study investigates the impact of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiations (RFEMR) from mobile phones on Sprague Dawley rats, focusing on changes in NSE and MDA biomarker levels.

Findings

  • Background: With the increasing reliance on mobile phones, there is a growing concern regarding the health implications of their emitted radiations.
  • Methodology: Twelve male Sprague Dawley rats aged 10-12 weeks, weighing 180-220 grams, were exposed to RFEMR, while their housing conditions were strictly controlled.
  • Results: Exposure led to a significant increase in levels of NSE and MDA, biomarkers associated with oxidative stress and cellular damage.

Conclusion

Results from this study suggest a direct link between mobile phone RFEMR exposure and increased oxidative stress and damage in biological organisms, underscoring potential health risks associated with mobile phone usage.
