“…Many observations have been reported which indicate the increase in free radicals as a result of lipid peroxidation. MDA is the byproduct of such peroxidation, and it increases in amount too [13]. Our results confirm these observations.…”

“…A number of studies have shown that abiotic stress can cause alterations in the structure and composition of lipids in the plasma membrane. An example for such alterations can be the increase in free sterols, which leads to a decrease in the fluidity of the cell membrane [13]. In this study, MDA content increased significantly in plants that were treated for longer durations with EMF ( Figure 1).…”

Here we investigate the effect of electromagnetic waves with high radio frequency radiation on the antioxidant activities and seed germination of Zea mays. Three groups of Zea mays seeds were used in this study. The first group was only exposed to RF radiation emitted from the mobile phone simulator. The second group was only exposed to RF radiation emitted from the mobile phone simulator while it was switched off. The third group served as the control. Data showed that the level of germination was significantly higher when seeds were exposed to an electromagnetic field of 900 MHz (EMF), the effects of electromagnetic waves with high frequency (940 MHZ) were studied on lipid peroxidation and proline content in leaves of Zea mays. Thirteen-day-old seedlings were subjected to two types of electromagnetic wave treatments for 7 days. The two treatments were indicated according to their duration of exposure to the waves, i.e. (i) exposure for 3 hours a day and (ii) 5 hours a day. After 20 days, the malondealdehyde (MDA) content in the leaves of the treated plants were measured as an indication of lipid peroxidation. We also measured the amino acid proline as a biomarker in abiotic stress. Here the abiotic stress is to be the electromagnetic field with high frequency (940 MHz). Our results show that electromagnetic field causes an increase in MDA content in leaves, compared with the control, sourced from the GSM simulator. Furthermore, catalase enzyme activity increased as a result of exposure to EMF which may be due to the induction of oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. Proline content increased significantly in plants treated with the electromagnetic field (940 MHz). The increase in proline content is the plant's countermeasure against abiotic stress.

“…Similarly, Kula and his colleagues investigated the effect of electromagnetic fields on workers in the steel industry for 3-10 years. In the study data, it is seen that there is an increase in the plasma MDA level with the increase of the study period according to the control group [13]. In our study, it was observed that the MDA level was higher in the high voltage group than in the control group.…”

Our study aimed to investigate the effect of electromagnetic fields originating from high voltage lines on serum malondialdehyde level of male rats wistar albino. A total of 32 rats were randomly assigned to study in 4 groups. Groups were; Group 1: high voltage, Group 2: high voltage+ganoderma l., Group 3: high voltage+melatonin, Group 4: control. Experimental groups were exposed to high voltage for 8 hours daily for 52 days. The electric field and the magnetic field were measured. Ganoderma was administered 20 mg/kg/day as a gavage and melatonin intraperitoneally as 10 mg/kg/day. In the study, the malondialdehyde (MDA) levels of the experimental and control groups were compared. There was no significant difference between the groups. According to the control group, it was found that the MDA level of the high voltage group increased, while the Ganoderma and Melatonin groups had a small decrease at the MDA level. These results show that electromagnetic fields originating from high voltage increase the MDA serum level, which is found to decrease in the presence of ganoderma and melatonin.

Effects of Continuous and Intermittent Magnetic Fields on Oxidative Parameters In vivo

Continuous and intermittent 50 Hz, 1.5 mT magnetic field with the exposure period of 4 h/day for 4 days was used to investigate its possible effect on adult guinea pigs. Tissues and plasma specimens were assessed by biochemical parameters. Malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), nitric oxide (NO) levels and myeloperoxidase activity (MPO) were examined in plasma, liver and brain tissues. All parameters were determined by spectrophotometer. While intermittent magnetic field was effective on plasma lipid peroxidation, continuous magnetic field was found to be effective on plasma MPO activity and NO levels. Augmentation of lipid peroxidation was also observed in liver tissue both intermittent and continuous magnetic field exposures. These results indicate that both the intermittent and continuous magnetic field exposures affect various tissues in a distinct manner because of having different tissue antioxidant status and responses.
