Mobile phone radiation during pubertal development has no effect on testicular histology in rats.

View Original AbstractThis small rat study found no testicular damage from 45 days of mobile phone exposure, but larger studies suggest reproductive risks remain.
Plain English Summary
Turkish researchers exposed young male rats to mobile phone radiation for one hour daily during their pubertal development (45 days total) and found no damage to testicular tissue structure or sperm-producing cells. The study examined tissue samples under microscopes using multiple staining techniques to detect any cellular abnormalities or signs of cell death. This suggests that mobile phone radiation at low absorption rates may not harm male reproductive development during puberty.
Study Details
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of mobile phone exposure to the testes, by assessing the histopathological and biochemical changes in the testicular germ cells of rats during pubertal development.
A total of 12 male Sprague Dawley rats were used. The study group (n = 6) was exposed to a mobile ph...
No changes were observed between the groups (p > 0.05). The interstitial connective tissue and cells...
Our study demonstrated that mobile phones with a low specific absorption rate have no harmful effects on pubertal rat testicles.
