The effect of electromagnetic waves of mobile phones on DNA, RNA content and kidney function in rats before, during and after pregnancy and their offspring

Increasing use of mobile phones in daily life with increasing adverse effects electromagnetic radiation cause many concerns about their on human health. This study was designed to investigate the effect exposure a 900-MHz waves (EMW) produced by nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), protein content, kidney function (levels urea creatinine) oxidative stress (malondialdehyde, MDA level) rats before, during after pregnancy periods offspring. A total 32 Wistar albino female were divided into 4 equal groups (8 each): 1- unexposed (control group); 2- pre-pregnancy (2 h/d for 21 d) EMW-exposed group; 3- 4- each period) group. Dams, new born young (40-50 g) all sacrificed tissues harvested determination parameters under investigation. high significant decrease DNA, RNA levels found exposed compared control. No difference protein, DNA content EMW rats, however these increased significantly both There no However, as well In conclusion, propagated from have harmful Therefore, people may various antioxidants avoid long prevent potential EMW.
