Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed male rats to 900 MHz cell phone radiation for 2 hours daily over 10 months to see if it would trigger cell death (apoptosis) in sperm-producing cells. They found no significant increase in cell death markers in the testes of exposed rats compared to unexposed controls. This suggests that this level of cell phone radiation exposure may not directly damage sperm production through cell death pathways.
Study Details
The purpose of this study was to investigate the apoptosis-inducing effect of mobile phone exposure on spermatogonia in seminiferous tubules.
The study was carried out on 31 Wistar albino adult male rats. The rats were separated into three gr...
The final score for apoptosis of testes in the exposed group was not statistically significant accor...
The results of this study showed that 2 h/day (7 days/week) exposure of 900 MHz radiation over a period of 10 months does not affect the active (cleaved) caspase-3 levels in testes, a well-known feature of typical apoptosis.
