Study Details

The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of 900 MHz MW radiation exposure on cognitive function and oxidative stress in blood of Fischer rats.

Animals were divided into two groups (6 animals/group): Group I (MW-exposed) and Group II (Sham-expo...

Results showed significant impairment in cognitive function and increase in oxidative stress, as evi...

Thus, the study demonstrated that low level MW radiation had significant effect on cognitive function and was also capable of leading to oxidative stress.
