Cell phone radiation at 0.24 W/kg SAR showed no genetic damage in rat bladder cells, even in diabetic animals.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers exposed diabetic rats to cell phone radiation (2100 MHz) to see if it caused genetic damage in bladder cells by looking for micronuclei - small fragments of broken DNA that indicate cellular damage. They found no increase in genetic damage in either healthy or diabetic rats exposed to the radiation compared to unexposed animals. The study suggests that this level of RF radiation may not cause DNA damage in bladder cells, even in animals with diabetes who might be more vulnerable.

Study Details

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the relationship of micronucleui (MN) frequency and RF radiation in exfoliated bladder cells of non-diabetic and diabetic rats.

Three groups were used in the experiment: Group I (n=6): diabetic group without RF exposure; Group I...

Results showed that there was no statistically important differences between non-RF exposed diabetes...

This study suggested no possible genotoxic effects of RF radiation among human beings especially with chronic disorders, such as diabetes.
