Exposure to cell phone induce oxidative stress in mice preantral follicles during in vitro cultivation: An experimental study
Authors not listed · 2019
Cell phone exposure significantly lowered survival, antrum formation, ovulation rates, and antioxidant capacity in mice preantral follicles cultured in vitro, while raising MDA levels.
Plain English Summary
Researchers isolated preantral follicles from 16 to 18 day-old NMRI mice and divided them into control and cell phone-exposed groups, culturing them for 12 days. Follicle diameters and rates of survival, antrum formation, ovulation, and metaphase II oocytes were all significantly lower in the cell phone-exposed group. Antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, GPX, and CAT) and total antioxidant capacity were significantly lower in exposed follicles, while MDA levels were significantly higher.
Why This Matters
The study aimed to investigate the effect of cell phone exposure on the oxidative status of mice preantral follicles during in vitro culture. Researchers assessed both developmental outcomes and biochemical markers, measuring follicle size, survival, antral cavity formation, ovulation, and oocyte maturation alongside antioxidant and oxidative stress indicators. The researchers concluded that cell phone exposure compromised the developmental competence of mice preantral follicles by increasing oxidative stress.
