Fischer rats exposed to 900 MHz or 1800 MHz microwave radiation for 30 days showed significantly reduced hippocampal levels of DA, NE, E, and 5-HT compared with sham-exposed controls. mRNA expression of TH, TPH1, and TPH2 was also significantly downregulated …
Male Fischer rats exposed for 180 days to low-intensity microwave radiation at 900, 1800, or 2450 MHz (SARs ~5.835×10^-4 to 6.672×10^-4 W/kg) showed declined cognitive function, elevated brain HSP70 levels, and increased DNA damage in brain compared with sham…
Rats exposed to 900, 1800, or 2450 MHz microwave radiation (SARs 0.59, 0.58, 0.66 mW/kg) for 60 days showed frequency-dependent increases in oxidative stress markers (MDA, PCO, CAT) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-2, IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ), with decreases in …
Rabbits exposed to 2450 MHz microwave radiation (50–200 mW/cm2 for 20 min) showed decreased ATP and mitochondrial complex IV and V activity in cardiac tissue, with significant decreases reported for 100, 150, and 200 mW/cm2 vs control (P<0.05). Histology indi…

Differentiated PC12 cells exposed to continuous 2.856 GHz microwave radiation (30 mW/cm^2 for 5 min) showed RKIP downregulation, excessive activation of the MEK/ERK/CREB pathway, decreased Bcl-2/Bax ratio, increased caspase-3 activity, and increased apoptotic…
Prenatal 900 MHz EMF exposure was associated with significantly increased mean kidney and renal cortex volumes and decreased numbers of glomeruli in 4-week-old male rats compared with controls. Melatonin and omega-3 co-treatment groups were reported to preven…
Schwann cells exposed to 50 Hz electromagnetic fields showed changes in morphology, proliferation, migration, and myelinating capability. Merlin was downregulated with activation of ERK/AKT and Hippo signaling pathways, alongside a shift toward a proliferativ…
Using a quasi-experimental prospective design, residents living within 300 m of the new high-voltage power line showed a significantly larger increase from baseline in symptom reports and causal beliefs compared with residents living farther away (500–2000 m)…
In a replication study in carcinogen-treated mice exposed at 0 (sham), 0.04, 0.4, and 2 W/kg SAR, numbers of lung and liver tumors were significantly higher in exposed groups than in sham controls. Lymphomas were also significantly elevated in exposed animals…
Compared with control/sham, rats exposed to 900 MHz EMF showed histopathological changes in the testis (vacuoles in seminiferous tubules basal membrane and intertubular edema), smaller seminiferous tubule diameters and germinal epithelium thickness, and a hig…
Compared with non-exposed aliquots, semen samples exposed in vitro to cell phone RF-EMF for 1 hour showed decreased sperm motility measures and acrosin activity and increased sperm DNA fragmentation, CLU gene expression, and CLU protein levels (p<0.05). Effec…
After 30 minutes of exposure, catalase activity and malondialdehyde concentration increased versus unexposed controls for all EMF sources tested. The largest changes were reported after exposure to EMF generated by car electronics.
Compared with controls, thymus tissue malondialdehyde levels were significantly higher and glutathione levels were significantly decreased in offspring prenatally exposed to 900 MHz EMF. In spleen tissue, malondialdehyde and glutathione levels were increased …
In phantom scanning, recorded counts were significantly reduced during mobile phone ringing mode at all tested distances (10–30 cm). No uniform pattern of count reduction across different head angles was observed when comparing ringing versus standby modes at…
Rats exposed to an EMF in the abdominal region for 15 min/day for 15 days had significantly fewer ovarian primordial follicles than controls. Mean total follicle number was 70.00 ± 19.03 in the exposed group versus 150.25 ± 49.53 in controls, with significant…
Male pups from dams exposed prenatally to 900-MHz EMF showed increased malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase and decreased glutathione versus controls. Histology and electron microscopy indicated hydropic degeneration (notably pericentral), mitochondrial v…
Rats exposed to a 900 MHz EMF for 1 h/day for 30 days had a significantly lower total number of pyramidal neurons in the cornu ammonis than control and sham-exposed groups (p<0.05). Histopathology in the exposed group showed abnormal, dark-stained/shrunken ce…
In male electrical staff at a chemical enterprise exposed to 50 Hz EMF and chemicals, periodic medical examination data showed a statistically higher incidence of cardiovascular diseases and autonomic disorders. The authors describe the results as preliminary…

Exposure of MG-63 cells to 50 Hz, 1 mT ELF-EMF for 1–3 h decreased cell viability and growth and increased apoptosis and ROS levels. Pretreatment with NAC (ROS inhibitor) or SB203580 (p38MAPK inhibitor) reduced the ELF-EMF–associated apoptosis, and ELF-EMF ex…
