Subchronic exposure of hsp70.1-deficient mice to radiofrequency radiation.

View Original AbstractEven genetically vulnerable mice showed no cellular stress response to cell phone-level RF radiation at 0.4 W/kg over 10 weeks.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed genetically modified mice (lacking a key protective protein called HSP70) to cell phone radiation at 849 MHz and 1763 MHz frequencies for 10 weeks to see if repeated exposure would trigger cellular stress responses. Even though these mice were more vulnerable to stress than normal mice, the radiofrequency radiation at 0.4 W/kg caused no detectable changes in cell death, cell growth, or stress protein production. This suggests that moderate levels of RF radiation may not activate cellular stress pathways even in compromised organisms.
Study Details
We carried out a study to determine whether sub-chronic RF exposure can cause constitutive induction of a stress response at a cellular and/or molecular level in hsp70.1-deficient mice due to repeated stimulation.
Eight-week-old hsp70.1-deficient mice were exposed twice daily for 45 min, with a 15 min interval, 5...
No difference was observed in the histopathological analysis between sham- and RF-exposed mice. Ther...
The hsp70.1-deficient mice did not show any significant changes in terms of cell proliferation, apoptosis, or stress response due to exposure of 849 or 1,763 MHz RF fields.
