Synergistic Effects of 2600 MHz Radiofrequency Exposure and Indomethacin on Oxidative Stress and Gastric Mucosal Injury in Rats
This rat study tested whether 2600 MHz radiofrequency field exposure interacts with indomethacin to affect gastric tissue. Both exposures alone were reported to increase oxidative stress and reduce antioxidant markers in the stomach. Co-exposure was reported to intensify oxidative stress, apoptosis, and histological gastric mucosal injury compared with either factor alone, consistent with a synergistic detrimental effect in this model.
Key points
- Forty male Wistar rats were assigned to control, sham, indomethacin, radiofrequency, or combined indomethacin + radiofrequency groups.
- Radiofrequency exposure was 2600 MHz for 1 hour per day, 5 days per week, for 15 days.
- Indomethacin was administered at 4 mg/kg by intragastric gavage.
- Indomethacin alone and radiofrequency alone were reported to increase oxidative stress markers and decrease antioxidant markers in gastric tissue.
- The combined exposure group showed greater gastric mucosal injury than either exposure alone.
- Combined exposure was associated with increased HSP70 expression and higher apoptotic cell counts compared with separate exposures.
