This rat study examined whether microwave radiation affects Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling in testis. The authors report increased TLR2-5 expression and elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α) after microwave exposure. Key phosphorylated components of TLR signaling (including NF-κB p65) were also…

This animal study exposed male Fischer-344 rats to 900 MHz or 1800 MHz microwave radiation for 30 days (2 h/day) and compared outcomes to sham exposure. The authors report significant cognitive impairment along with increased oxidative stress in brain tissue in exposed rats. They also report increased inflammatory…
