This study examined the effects of 1950 MHz radio frequency electromagnetic radiation on mouse Leydig cells, exposing them to 3 W/kg SAR for 24 hours. The researchers found that the radiation exposure decreased cell proliferation, altered cell cycle distribution, reduced testosterone secretion, and lowered P450scc mRNA expression, while apoptosis and ROS levels showed no significant changes.

Researchers exposed genetically modified Alzheimer's mice to 1950 MHz radiofrequency radiation (similar to cell phone frequencies) for 3 months to see if it worsened memory problems. The EMF exposure did not make memory deficits worse or increase harmful brain protein deposits. This suggests cell phone radiation may not accelerate Alzheimer's-like brain damage, at least in this animal model.

Researchers exposed rat brain cells to 1950 MHz radiofrequency radiation (3G UMTS signal) for 24 hours at high intensity levels to test for DNA damage, cell death, and other harmful effects. The study found no detectable biological effects despite using radiation levels higher than most previous research. This suggests that short-term exposure to 3G frequencies may not cause immediate cellular damage in this laboratory model.

Researchers exposed rat brain immune cells (microglia) to 1950 MHz cell phone radiation at various power levels for 2 hours and monitored them for 3 days. The study found no activation of these immune cells and no inflammatory response, even at radiation levels up to 2 W/kg. This suggests that this specific frequency may not trigger brain inflammation in laboratory conditions.
