بررسی اثرات هیستولوژیک میدان الکترومغناطیسی بر مخچه رت

Background and purpose: Ëffect of electromagnetic filed on the living beings is one of the current issues. With development of technology and increasing application of electromagnetic waves in industry and health affairs, men is exposed to various electromagnetic fields, such as high pressure power cable, radio, ultra magnetic matters, television, mobile and computer. The purpose of this study was to determine the teratogenic effects of electromagnetic field on rat cerebellum in intrauterine growth phase and prepuberty (the end of two months). Materials and methods: Ïn orders to determine the teratogenic effects of magnetic filed on rat cerebellum a generator instrument with 120 Gauss was designed and wistar rats were selected as experimental models. Rats were divided in to two experimental and control groups. Ïn both groups, the Zero time of pregnancy was determined by vaginal smear method. The experimental group was exposed to 120 Gauss electromagnetic field from the first day of pregnancy. For the histological studies, the neonates were exposed to electromagnetic field eight hours dialy for two months. Results: The data indicate the reduction of the cerebellar purkenji cells number and reduction of the granular cell layer. Çonclusion: Ôn the basis of results obtained from this study, it can be concluded that electromagnetic waves with certain current can cause destruction of sensitive tissues and damage of cerebellar tissue.
