View Original AbstractCombined cell phone radiation at 2.5 times regulatory limits showed no oxidative stress effects in lab-grown brain cells over 2 hours.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed neuronal brain cells to combined cell phone radiation (CDMA and WCDMA signals) for 2 hours to see if it would increase reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are harmful molecules that can damage cells. The study found no increase in ROS levels from the radiation exposure, even when combined with chemicals known to cause oxidative stress. This suggests the specific radiation levels tested did not trigger cellular damage in these lab-grown brain cells.
Study Details
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the combined RF radiation (837 MHz CDMA plus 1950 MHz WCDMA) signal on levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in neuronal cells.
Exposure of the combined RF signal was conducted at specific absorption rate values of 2 W/kg of CDM...
Intracellular ROS levels were not consistently affected by combined RF radiation exposure alone in a...
These findings indicate that neither combined RF radiation alone nor combined RF radiation with menadione or H2O2 influences the intracellular ROS level in neuronal cells such as U87, PC12 or SH-SY5Y
