Abstract:

Electromagnetic waves can damage sex organs and cause hormonal disorders, and garlic isknown to reduce risk factors for various diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate theprobable effects of mobile phone radiation and the consumption of garlic on testosterone levelsand testicular changes. Five groups of rats were used: control, sham (exposed to 900 MHzwavelength), experimental group 1 (receiving garlic extract), and experimental groups 2 and 3(receiving both extract and microwaves). After a month, the rats were weighed and their serumtestosterone levels were measured. The testes were also removed, weighed, and theirprobable histological changes were studied.The mean body weight in the sham groupshowed a significant decrease, whereas an increase was seen in experimental group 3 comparedwith the sham (P
