Twenty days of 3G phone radiation caused no measurable oxidative stress in rat eyes or blood, though longer exposure periods remain unstudied.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers exposed rats to 3G mobile phone radiation for 20 days and measured oxidative stress markers in their eye tissue and blood. They found no significant differences between exposed and control groups in any of the measured stress indicators. This suggests that short-term exposure to 3G phone radiation may not cause oxidative damage to eyes or blood in rats.

Study Details

To investigate the effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted by a third generation (3G) mobile phone on the antioxidant and oxidative stress parameters in eye tissue and blood of rats.

Eighteen Wistar albino rats were randomly assigned into two groups: Group I (n = 9) received a stand...

There was no significant difference between groups in GSH-Px (p = 0.99) and CAT (p = 0.18) activity ...

The results of this study suggest that under a short period of exposure, 3G mobile phone radiation does not lead to harmful effects on eye tissue and blood in rats.
