Microwave radiation (2.45 GHz)-induced oxidative stress: Whole-body exposure effect on histopathology of Wistar rats.
This animal study examined whole-body exposure to 2.45 GHz microwave radiation for 2 h/day over 35 days in male Wistar rats. The authors report increased lipid peroxidation (LPO) in liver, brain, and spleen and histological changes across multiple organs compared with sham-exposed controls. They conclude the exposure can potentially cause oxidative and histopathological changes and note possible implications for human health.
Key points
- Study used male Wistar rats divided into sham-exposed and microwave-exposed groups.
- Exposure was 2.45 GHz at 0.2 mW/cm for 2 h/day for 35 days with estimated whole-body SAR of 0.14 W/kg.
- LPO levels were significantly higher in liver, brain, and spleen in exposed rats versus controls.
- Histological changes were observed in brain, liver, testis, kidney, and spleen after exposure.
- Outcomes focused on oxidative stress (LPO) and organ histopathology.
- The abstract does not report the number of animals per group or detailed histology scoring methods.
