Abstract

Overview

This study explores the impact of electromagnetic fields (EMF) from mobile phones on rat testicular structure and function. With the increasing use of mobile phones, understanding their effects on reproductive health is critically important.

Findings

• Morphological and histological assessments were conducted using stereological techniques.
• Significant testicular changes were observed in rats exposed to EMF, with reductions in testis weight and volume.
• Email complaints about tubular tissue structure, decreased seminiferous tubule diameter, and reduced germinal epithelium height.
• Cortisol levels were notably higher in EMF-exposed groups, suggesting stress responses.

Conclusion

Exposure to EMF from mobile phones significantly affects testicular structure and function, and raises cortisol levels, indicating potential risks to reproductive health, especially regarding germinal epithelium tissue. Continued research into EMF effects is crucial for public health.
