Abstract: OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to investigate the possible effects of electromagnetic radiation from conventional cellular phone use on the oxidant and antioxidant status in rat blood and testicular tissue and determine the possible protective role of vitamins C and E in preventing the detrimental effects of electromagnetic radiation on the testes.MATERIALS AND METHODS:The treatment groups were exposed to an electromagnetic field, electromagnetic field plus vitamin C (40 mg/kg/day) or electromagnetic fiel… Show more

“…Previously, it has been shown that mobile phone radiation affects sperm parameters in addition to causing oxidative stress in the body and consequently leading to various diseases (Ghanbari, Mortazavi, Khavanin, & Khazaei, ). Mobile phone radiation has an adverse effect on testicular function by increasing oxidative stress and disrupting testicular antioxidant status (Al‐Damegh, ) .…”

“…The above-mentioned and many other similar scientific reports have forced researchers to pose the questions about the effectiveness of preventive activities protecting people against the effects of EMF leading to oxidative stress. The effectiveness of antioxidants such as vitamin C and E are undeniably confirmed by numerous studies [19,24,25]. In contrast, the results of a study on vitamin A and its provitamin -β-carotene stir up controversies among researchers.…”

“…They also stated that the weights of testis, epididymis, prostate and vesiculoseminalis did not change, and there was not a statistically signifi cant difference in sperm concentration and motility (23). Again, in another study, following the exposure of 1900 MHz RF radiation for 60 minutes/day for a period of 14 days, expansion in seminiferous tubule, karyomegaly in some spermatogenic nuclei and degeneration of non-spermatozoa seminiferous tubules were observed (24). Mailankot et al exposed rats to radiation of 0.9/1.8 GHz (GSM) for 1 hour/day for a period of 28 days; they could not observe any differences between the control group and the practice group in terms of total sperm count while they found out a 40 % decrease in the number of mature sperm count in the practice group (21).…”
