Abstract

Overview

This study evaluates the impact of cellphone radiation on oxidative stress activities and renal parameters in rats.

Methods

• Experimental Setup: 30 mature male Wister rats were divided into three groups. The first group served as a control, while the second and third groups were exposed to two and four cellphones, respectively.
• Data Collection: Blood samples were drawn from the rats' hearts 15 and 30 days after exposure to analyze anti-oxidative and renal parameters.

Findings

• Increased activity of catalase, superoxide dismutase, and paraoxonase enzymes was noted in all treated groups.
• Decreased activity of glutathione peroxidase enzyme in all treated groups.
• No significant changes in malondialdehyde and creatinine levels.
• Significant increases in uric acid and urea levels were observed in rats exposed to four cellphones after 30 days.

Conclusion

The study concludes that exposure to cellphone radiation can induce various biochemical changes in rats, suggesting potential destructive effects on tissue and enzyme function.
