Assessment of oxidant/antioxidant status in saliva of cell phone users.

View Original AbstractShort cell phone calls of 15-30 minutes showed no measurable oxidative stress in saliva, but chronic daily exposure remains unstudied.
Plain English Summary
Researchers tested saliva samples from people before, during, and after 15 and 30-minute cell phone calls to measure oxidative stress markers (chemicals that indicate cellular damage). They found no significant changes in these stress markers, suggesting that short-term phone use doesn't trigger measurable oxidative damage in saliva. This challenges the theory that cell phone radiation causes immediate cellular stress through oxidative pathways.
Study Details
The aim of this study was to examine the oxidant/antioxidant status in saliva of cell phone users
Saliva samples collected before using a cell phone as well as at the end of 15 and 30 min calls were...
The mean 8-oxo-dG and the Bradford protein concentrations (ng/ml and mg/ml, respectively) peaked at ...
These findings suggest that there is no relationship between exposure to radio frequency radiation (RFR) and changes in the salivary oxidant/antioxidant profile.
