Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed rats to 2.45 GHz RF for 1 hour daily over 21 consecutive days, which induced a diabetes-like status. RF exposure decreased glutathione peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and thiol group activities in liver and kidneys, while increasing malondialdehyde concentration in both organs. Olive leaf extract at 100 mg/kg prevented glucose metabolism disruption, restored antioxidant enzyme activities and thiol groups in liver and kidneys, and reduced elevated malondialdehyde in liver but not in kidneys.
Why This Matters
The investigators suggested that RF exposure induced a diabetes-like status through alteration of oxidative response. They concluded that olive leaves extract corrected glucose metabolism disorder by minimizing oxidative stress induced by RF in rat tissues.
Exposure Information
Specific exposure levels were not quantified in this study. The study examined exposure from: 2.45 GHz Duration: 1 h/day during 21 consecutive days
