View Original AbstractCell phone radiation showed no immediate effect on multiple sclerosis symptoms in rats, but long-term immune impacts remain unstudied.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed rats with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a laboratory model of multiple sclerosis, to 900 MHz cell phone radiation for 2 hours daily over 21 days. The study found no effect of the radiation exposure on the onset, duration, or severity of the autoimmune disease symptoms. This suggests that short-term cell phone radiation exposure may not worsen multiple sclerosis-like conditions, though longer-term effects remain unknown.
Study Details
The effects of acute exposure to GSM-900 microwaves (900 MHz, 217 Hz pulse modulation) on the clinical parameters of the acute experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) model in rats were investigated in two independent experiments: rats were either habituated or nonhabituated to the exposure restrainers.
EAE was induced with a mixture of myelin basic protein and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Female Lewis ...
There was no effect of a 21 day exposure (2 h/day) on the onset, duration, and termination of the EA...
