View Original AbstractWiFi exposure during pregnancy and early life showed no brain stress markers in rat pups, even at levels 40 times higher than typical human exposure.
Plain English Summary
French researchers exposed pregnant rats and their offspring to WiFi signals (2.4 GHz) from pregnancy through 5 weeks after birth, then examined their brains for signs of cellular stress and damage. They found no differences in stress markers between WiFi-exposed and unexposed rat pups, even at exposure levels up to 4 W/kg. The study suggests that WiFi exposure during critical developmental periods may not cause detectable brain damage in young rats.
Study Details
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.
