Exposure to mobile phone radiation (900–1800 MHz) during pregnancy increased oxidative stress markers in dams and offspring mice.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Pregnant Balb/C mice were exposed to mobile phone radiation (900–1800 MHz) for 2 hours per day over 20 days during pregnancy. Researchers measured malondialdehyde, total thiol groups, superoxide dismutase, and catalase in heart, liver, kidney, cerebellum, and hippocampus tissues of dams and offspring. MDA levels were significantly increased while TTG, SOD, and CAT were significantly decreased in the tissues of both dams and offspring.

Why This Matters

Tissues were collected from dams and offspring immediately after delivery. The researchers concluded that mobile phone exposure during pregnancy induced oxidative stress in both dams and their offspring.

Study Details

The present study has investigated the effects of mobile phone (900–1800 MHz)-induced electromagnetic radiation on redox status in the heart, liver, kidney, cerebellum, and hippocampus of dams and the offspring mice.

Pregnant Balb/C were divided into two groups including the control and the experimental group. The e...
