Eight months of high-level RF exposure didn't worsen age-related brain damage in mice, but this doesn't rule out effects in developing brains.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers exposed middle-aged mice to cell phone-level radiofrequency radiation (1950 MHz) for 8 months to see if it worsened age-related brain damage. While the aging mice showed expected increases in brain oxidative stress, DNA damage, and inflammation markers, the RF exposure didn't make any of these problems worse. The study suggests that long-term exposure to this type of radiation may not accelerate brain aging processes.

Study Details

The aim of this study is to observe the Impact of Long-Term RF-EMF on Oxidative Stress and Neuroinflammation in Aging Brains of C57BL/6 Mice

Middle-aged C57BL/6 mice (aged 14 months) were exposed to 1950 MHz electromagnetic fields for 8 mont...

Compared with those in the young group, levels of protein (3-nitro-tyrosine) and lipid (4-hydroxy-2-...

Therefore, these findings indicate that long-term exposure to RF-EMF did not influence age-induced oxidative stress or neuroinflammation in C57BL/6 mice.
