View Original AbstractSingle 2-hour cell phone radiation exposure caused no immediate brain stress in young rats, but chronic daily exposure effects remain unstudied.
Plain English Summary
French researchers exposed developing rats to cell phone radiation (1800 MHz) for 2 hours at SAR levels of 1.7-2.5 W/kg to see if it would trigger stress responses or damage in brain cells. They found no evidence of cellular stress, inflammation, or damage to the glial cells that support brain function. This suggests that brief exposures to cell phone radiation at these levels may not cause immediate harm to developing brain tissue.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate Effect of exposure to 1,800 MHz electromagnetic fields on heat shock proteins and glial cells in the brain of developing rats.
In the present study, we quantified cell stress and glial responses in the brain of developing rats ...
The GSM signal had no significant effect on the abundance of HSP60, HSC70 or HSP90, of serine racema...
These results provide no evidence for acute cell stress or glial reactions indicative of early neural cell damage, in developing brains exposed to 1,800 MHz signals in the range of SAR used in our study.
