Protective effect of zingiber officinale on mobile phone induced rat brain injury.

Objective: To observe the protective effect of zingiber officinale against radio frequency (RF) radiation-induced oxidative stress on rat brain due to 3G mobile phone. Study Design: Prospective Experimental study. Setting: Department Anatomy, BMSI, JPMC, Karachi. Period: January March 2018. Material & Methods: Twenty four healthy, adult, Albino rats, 3-4 months age, weighing 150-300 gm were acquired. They sorted into groups. Group A was marked as control, B exposed phone 2100MHz radiation 24 hours daily, C same dose group along with 250mg/kg/day orally, and D given in C. The rats euthanized at end study period after recording their final weight. Brain removed weighed. It processed for haematoxylin eosin stain general morphology cerebellum. Results: data displayed an insignificant increase body weight absolute animals compared whereas decrease observed when respectively. Microscopic examination cerebellum H E stained sections revealed distortion cellular architecture control. Tissue from demonstrated significant restoration cerebellar architecture. Results similar Conclusion: Cell phones emit causing damage brain, especially cerebellum, however, concurrent use ginger significantly ameliorates this damaging effect.
