Risk factors of congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT): Exposure to mobile phones during pregnancy.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2024

This case-control study (57 CAKUT cases, 57 controls) evaluated multiple risk factors for CAKUT, including mobile phone-related EMF exposure during pregnancy. Longer maternal daily call time and higher effective SAR (SAR × call time) were reported to be associated with increased CAKUT risk, while phone proximity when…

Extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) induced alterations in gene expression and cytokine secretion in clear cell renal carcinoma cells.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2024

This in vitro study exposed three ccRCC cell lines and a healthy kidney cell line (HEK293) to 50 Hz ELF-EMF at 4.5 mT for 30 minutes daily over 5 days. The authors report exposure-associated changes in expression of several genes (names not fully visible in the abstract), with differences between primary…

Effects of 2.4 GHz radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) on glioblastoma cells (U -118 MG).

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2023

This in vitro study exposed glioblastoma (U-118 MG) and human embryonic kidney (Hek-293) cells to 2.4 GHz RF-EMF for 24–72 hours, with or without a dielectric screen. The authors report a significant decrease in cell viability after exposure in both cell lines. The decrease was described as greater in glioblastoma…

Ameliorative effects of crocin against electromagnetic field-induced oxidative stress and liver and kidney injuries in mice.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2023

This mouse experiment evaluated whether crocin (50 mg/kg) mitigates liver and kidney injury associated with 2100 MHz electromagnetic field exposure. EMF exposure was associated with increased serum markers of kidney and liver injury, reduced antioxidant enzyme activity, and histopathological/ultrastructural changes…

Hazardous effects of high voltage electromagnetic field on albino rats and protective role of Rosmarinus officinalis.

Research RF Safe Research Library Jan 1, 2022

This animal study examined effects of a 50 Hz high-voltage electromagnetic field (5.4 kV/m) applied 2 or 4 hours per day for 25 days in albino rats.
