Study Details

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeation and neuron degeneration were assessed in the rat brain following exposure to mobile communication radiofrequency (RF) signals (GSM-1800 and UMTS-1950).

Two protocols were used: (i) single 2 h exposure, with rats sacrificed immediately, and 1 h, 1, 7, o...

No adverse impact in terms of BBB leakage or neuron degeneration was observed after single exposures...
