Sulforaphane Effects on Neuronal-like Cells and Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Exposed to 2.45 GHz Electromagnetic Radiation
Authors not listed · 2024
A 24-hour exposure to 2.45 GHz EMR reduced viability of SH-SY5Y neuronal-like cells and PBMCs, and 5 µg/mL sulforaphane protected the cells while higher concentrations were harmful.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed SH-SY5Y neuronal-like cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells to 2.45 GHz EMR for 24 hours with sulforaphane at 5, 10, and 25 µg/mL. Higher sulforaphane concentrations caused harmful effects and the compound showed a hormetic response in Nrf2, SOD2, and apoptosis markers.
Why This Matters
The authors note that 2.45 GHz EMR from common devices has been reported to cause oxidative stress in experimental models. The study measured cell viability, mitochondrial activity, redox-marker transcription and protein levels, and apoptosis-related genes.
Exposure Information
Specific exposure levels were not quantified in this study.
