View Original AbstractBrief daily cell phone radiation exposure caused heart stress markers in pregnant rabbits, suggesting vulnerability during pregnancy.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed pregnant and non-pregnant rabbits to cell phone-like radiation for 15 minutes daily for a week to study potential health effects during pregnancy. While the study found no evidence of oxidative stress (cellular damage from harmful molecules), it did detect changes in blood chemistry markers, particularly enzymes that indicate heart muscle stress. The findings suggest that even brief daily exposure to radiofrequency radiation may affect certain biological processes, especially during pregnancy.
Study Details
We aimed to investigate the possible effects of radiofrequency radiation (RFR) generated from these devices on oversensitive animals, such as pregnant rabbits.
In the present study, the effects of whole body 1800 MHz Global System for Mobile Communications (GS...
Lipid peroxidation, namely malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, did not change after RFR exposure. However,...
Our investigations have been shown that no indication for oxidative stress was detected in the blood of pregnant rabbits upon RF exposure at specific conditions employed in the present study. Minor changes in some blood chemistry parameters were detected but CK-MB and CK increases were found remarkable. Studies on RFR exposure during pregnancy will help establish international standards for the protection of pregnant women from environmental RFR
