“…1 It has been suggested that the EMR produced by mobile phones has adverse effects on human health at the cellular and molecular levels. 12 In previous studies, it was reported that EMR produced from mobile phones may affect the immune, nervous, hematological and urinary systems as well as the cardiac functions, genetics and the normal growth and development of humans. [12][13][14] In their study, Ono et al 15 could not determine any significant difference in DNA mutation between the non-exposed group and the embryos exposed to EMR for 16 hours daily for 15 days.…”

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exposure to a 900-MHz electromagnetic field (EMF) produced by mobile phones on the renal development of prenatal rats. Histopathological changes and apoptosis in the kidneys, together with levels of urea, creatinine and electrolyte in serum were determined. Methods: A total of 14 Sprague-Dawley rats were studied. Pregnant rats were divided into two equal groups: a control group and an EMF-exposed group. The study group was exposed to 900-MHz of EMF during the first 20 days of pregnancy, while the control group was unexposed to EMF. Sections obtained from paraffin blocks were stained for caspase-3 by immunohistochemistry, hematoxylin-eosin and Masson's trichrome. Results: Mild congestion and tubular defects, and dilatation of Bowman's capsule were observed in the kidney tissues of rats in the exposed group. Apoptosis was evaluated using anti-caspase-3; stronger positive staining was observed in the renal tubular cells in the study group than those of the control group. Although there was a significant difference between the study and control groups in terms of K + level (p50.05), no significant difference was observed in the other parameters studied (p40.05). Conclusion: Our study shows that the electromagnetic waves propagated from mobile phones have harmful effects on the renal development of prenatal rats.

“…Various in vitro studies using animal models have consistently demonstrated oxidative stress in different tissues (kidney, endometrium, eye, testis, brain, myocardial tissue and so on) in response to cell phone radiation. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] These studies have also shown potential beneficial effects of antioxidants, such as melatonin, vitamin C and vitamin E, on oxidative stress status induced by RF-EMW in animals. However, results of animal studies related to the effects of cell phone radiation on reproductive functions are conflicting.…”

Mobile phones usage has seen an exponential growth recently. With this increasing demand, the amount of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) exposed is also increasing. Hence, we studied the effect of these radiations on ejaculated human semen and speculate the contribution of these harmful radiations in male infertility. Samples exposed to EMR showed a significant decrease in sperm motility and viability, increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA fragmentation index (DFI) compared to unexposed group. We concluded that mobile phones emit electromagnetic waves which lead to oxidative stress in human semen and also cause changes in DNA fragmentation. We extrapolate these findings to speculate that these radiations may negatively affect spermatozoa and impair male fertility.

“…It was found that the MDA level increased (P<0.05), glutathione level and CAT enzyme activity decreased (P<0.05), and vitamins A, E and D(3) levels did not change (P>0.05) in the brain tissues of EMF-exposed guinea pigs. It was concluded that electromagnetic field emitted from cellular phone might produce oxidative stress in brain tissue of guinea pigs [56].…”
