The study found significantly lower manganese superoxide dismutase and catalase enzyme activities and higher lipid peroxidation in people exposed to mobile tower radiation compared to controls.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers examined superoxide dismutase enzyme activity, catalase enzyme activity, lipid peroxidation, and functional polymorphisms of SOD and CAT antioxidant genes in a human population exposed to mobile tower radiation. Exposed subjects showed significantly lower manganese superoxide dismutase and catalase enzyme activities and higher lipid peroxidation than control subjects. Polymorphisms in the MnSOD and CAT genes significantly contributed to the observed phenotype.

Study Details

In the present study, we have examined superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme activity, catalase (CAT) enzyme activity, lipid peroxidation assay, and effect of functional polymorphism of SOD and CAT antioxidant genes against mobile tower-induced oxidative stress in human population

From our results, we have found a significantly lower mean value of manganese superoxide dismutase (...

A significant association of genetic polymorphism of antioxidant genes with genetic damage has been observed in human population exposed to radiations emitted from mobile towers.
