View Original AbstractThis study found no brain stress markers in young rats exposed to WiFi during development, even at levels exceeding typical human exposure.
Plain English Summary
French researchers exposed pregnant rats and their newborns to WiFi signals (2450 MHz) for 2 hours daily during pregnancy and early life, then examined brain tissue for signs of stress and damage. They found no differences in stress markers or heat-shock proteins between exposed and unexposed rats at any of the tested exposure levels. The study suggests that WiFi exposure during critical developmental periods may not cause detectable brain damage in rats.
Study Details
To Study the bioeffects of exposure to Wireless High-Fidelity (WiFi) signals on the developing nervous systems of young rodents was investigated by assessing the in vivo and in situ expression levels of three stress markers: 3-Nitrotyrosine (3-NT), an oxidative stress marker and two heat-shock proteins (Hsp25 and Hsp70).
These biomarkers were measured in the brains of young rats exposed to a 2450 MHz WiFi signal by immu...
No significant difference was observed among exposed and sham-exposed groups
These results suggest that repeated exposure to WiFi during gestation and early life has no deleterious effects on the brains of young rats.
