Feb 17, 2026
This animal experiment exposed rats to 6 GHz RF-EMR from a signal generator for 4 hours/day over 6 weeks and assessed plasma oxidative stress markers and kidney histology. The RF-EMR group showed lower plasma GSH, CAT, SOD, and MDA levels than control and sham groups, while cortisol did not differ. The authors also…
Time-Dependence Effect of 2.45 GHz RF-EMR Exposure on Male Reproductive Hormones and LHCGR

RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2025
This animal study exposed male Sprague Dawley rats to 2.45 GHz Wi-Fi for varying daily durations over eight weeks and assessed reproductive hormones and LHCGR expression. Serum LH and testosterone did not differ significantly from controls, but LHCGR mRNA increased with longer exposure and LHCGR protein showed…
From adults to offspring: Wi-Fi RF-EMR exposure in adult zebrafish impairs reproduction and transgenerationally effects development and behavior of progeny

RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2025
This animal study examined Wi-Fi RF-EMR exposure in adult zebrafish (4 hours/day for 30 days) and assessed reproductive tissues and offspring outcomes. The abstract reports testicular and ovarian histopathological abnormalities in exposed adults. Offspring from exposed parents, maintained under EMF-free conditions,…
Non-thermal biological effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation: Mechanistic insights into male reproductive vulnerability in the era of ubiquitous exposure
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2025
This narrative review discusses proposed non-thermal mechanisms by which chronic, low-intensity RF-EMR from ubiquitous wireless sources may affect male reproductive health. It highlights oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired testosterone synthesis/steroidogenesis, and declines in sperm quality as…

Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2025
This narrative review examines research on radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) from mobile towers and its potential association with genetic damage and genetic polymorphism in humans, with an emphasis on India. The abstract states that RF-EMR exposure may affect genetic material and suggests a link…
Genotoxic and histopathological effects of 6 GHz radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation on rat liver tissue
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2025
This animal experiment exposed adult male rats to 6 GHz RF-EMR (0.065 W/kg) for 4 hours/day over 42 days and compared them with sham controls. The exposed group showed higher comet assay genotoxicity metrics, though not statistically significant, and more prominent liver histopathological changes (e.g., portal…
Melatonin ameliorates RF-EMR-induced reproductive damage by inhibiting ferroptosis through Nrf2 pathway activation
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2025
This animal study reports that prolonged RF-EMR exposure (2.45 GHz for 8 weeks) increased oxidative stress and ferroptosis in mouse testicular tissue and was associated with reduced sperm quality. Melatonin administration reportedly mitigated oxidative injury and inhibited ferroptosis. The abstract attributes the…
Possible effects of RF EMR on contextual fear conditioning, hippocampal perivascular space, apoptosis and adrenal gland microarchitecture in rats
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2025
This animal study exposed male Wistar rats to 900 MHz RF-EMR from a mobile phone for 1 hour daily over four weeks and assessed behavior and tissue changes. The authors report altered contextual fear conditioning-related behavior in exposed rats. Histological assessments indicated apoptosis and enlarged perivascular…
Relationship between radiofrequency-electromagnetic radiation from cellular phones and brain tumor: meta-analyses using various proxies for RF-EMR exposure-outcome assessment
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2024
Moon et al. (2024) report a systematic review and meta-analysis on cellular phone RF-EMR and brain tumor risk. The abstract summary states elevated risks for three brain tumor types in analyses considering ipsilateral (same-side) phone use and reports increased risk with heavy and long-term use. The text also…
Effect of mobile telephones on sperm quality: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Research
RF Safe Research Library
Jan 1, 2014
This 2014 systematic review and random-effects meta-analysis evaluated whether RF-EMR from mobile phones affects human sperm quality. Across 10 studies (1492 samples), exposure was associated with reduced sperm motility and reduced viability, while findings for sperm concentration were more equivocal. The abstract…
