The Effect of Mobile Radiation on the Oxidative Stress Biomarkers in Pregnant Mice
Authors not listed · 2021
Mobile radiation increased MDA and 8-OHdG and decreased total antioxidant capacity in pregnant mice, and vitamin C prevented these increases.
Plain English Summary
Twenty-one pregnant mice were divided into three groups: control, mobile radiation-exposed, and mobile radiation plus vitamin C at 200 mg/kg. The exposure groups received 900 MHz radiation at 2 watts and a power density of 0.045 μw /cm2 for eight hours per day over ten consecutive days. After five days of rest, blood levels of MDA, 8-OHdG, and total antioxidant capacity were measured. Radiation exposure significantly increased MDA and 8-OHdG and decreased total antioxidant capacity, while vitamin C inhibited the increases in MDA and 8-OHdG.
Why This Matters
The researchers concluded that mobile radiation can cause oxidative stress in the blood of pregnant mice. They also concluded that vitamin C as an antioxidant can prevent this oxidative stress.
Exposure Information
Specific exposure levels were not quantified in this study.
