View Original AbstractShort cell phone calls up to 30 minutes showed no detectable oxidative stress in saliva samples.
Plain English Summary
Researchers measured oxidative stress markers in saliva from people before, during, and after 15-30 minute cell phone calls to see if radiofrequency radiation causes cellular damage. They found no significant changes in any of the stress markers or antioxidant levels, suggesting that short-term phone use doesn't trigger detectable oxidative stress in saliva.
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.
