View Original AbstractThis rat study found no reproductive harm from 11 weeks of daily cell phone radiation exposure, but longer-term effects remain unclear.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed adult rats to cell phone radiation (1,835-1,850 MHz) for one hour daily over 11 weeks to test effects on reproductive function. They found no changes in testosterone levels, sperm count, testicular weight, or tissue damage compared to unexposed rats. This study suggests that typical cell phone radiation exposure may not harm male fertility in the short term.
Study Details
We investigated the effects of subchronic exposure to radio frequency emitted from a conventional cellular telephone on the testicular function in adult rats.
A total of 16 male Wistar rats at age 30 days were randomly divided into 2 groups, including experim...
Mean rectal temperature did not alter following exposure. There was no statistical difference betwee...
The current study shows that the low intensity pulsed radio frequency emitted by a conventional cellular telephone does not impair testicular function in adult rats.
