View Original AbstractThis study found no brain damage from 2-hour cell phone radiation exposure, contradicting earlier research on blood-brain barrier effects.
Plain English Summary
French researchers exposed rats' heads to cell phone radiation (900 MHz GSM) for 2 hours to test whether it damages the blood-brain barrier (the protective layer around the brain) or kills brain cells. They found no evidence of brain damage or barrier leakage at exposure levels both below and above typical cell phone use. This study contradicted earlier research that had suggested cell phone radiation could harm the brain's protective barrier.
Study Details
The aim of this study was to perform a confirmation study of Salford et al. 2003 and thus investigate effects of head-only exposure of rats to GSM-900 on blood-brain barrier permeability and neuronal degeneration.
In our study, 16 Fischer 344 rats (14 weeks old) were exposed head-only to the GSM-900 signal for 2...
No apoptotic neurons were found 14 days after the last exposure using the TUNEL method. No statistic...
The findings of our study did not confirm the previous results of Salford et al
