Study Details

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of prenatal exposure to EMF on rat myocardium by biochemical and histopathological evaluations.

In this study, 10 pregnant Wistar rats were used. Half of the pregnant rats were exposed to EMF of 3...

In the EMF-exposed group, lipid peroxidation levels significantly increased compared to sham. Supero...

In conclusion, the results show that prenatal exposure to EMF causes oxidative stress, apoptosis and morphological pathology in myocardium of rat pups. The results of our study indicate a probable role of free radicals in the adverse effects of prenatal exposure to EMF. Further studies are needed to demonstrate whether the EMF exposure can induce adverse effects on the myocardium.
