Abstract:

Background: There is a great concern for the possible adverse effects of cell phones and noise waves and it looks these wave effects on the individuals’ health. Thus, the present study was conducted to examine the effect of cell phone waves, severity noise, and simultaneous effect of cell phone waves and severity noise on sperm motility and sexual hormones in adult male rats. Materials and Methods: This experimental study was performed on twenty eight Wistar adult male rats (200- 250 g). The animals were randomly assigned to four groups (n=7): control group, two-week exposure to cell phone simulated wave group, exposure to noise group, and simultaneous exposure to cell phone simulated wave and sound group. The means of sperm motility in all groups were determined with criteria of WHO and sexual hormones concentration of blood plasma in all groups were determined by RIA. The results were analyzed by one-way ANOVA statistical technique followed by Tukey test using SPSS (version 16) software. Results: Sperm motility in exposure to cell phone simulated waves and simultaneous exposure to cell phone simulated wave and noise groups decreased significantly compared with control group (p<0.05). The testosterone hormone concentration of blood plasma in all exposure groups decreased significantly compared with control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Exposure to cell phone waves and simultaneous exposure to cell phone simulated waves and sharp noise can cause a significant decrease in sperm motility and, also, can cause a significant decrease in testosterone hormone concentration in adult male rats resulting in abnormality fertility.

P-32: The Effect of Cell Phone Waves (900 MHZ - GSMBand) on Sperm Parameters and Total Antioxidant Capacity in Adult Male Rats

Background: There is a great concern for the possible adverse effects of cell phones’ microwaves. Contradictory results, however, have been reported for the effects of these waves on the body. In the present study, the effect of cell phone microwaves on sperm parameters and total antioxidant capacity was investigated with regard to the duration of exposure and the amount of the frequency of the...

P-14: The Effects of Depression on Reduced Sperm Motility in Male Rats

Background: Infertility is a problem for 15 to 30% couples. Male infertility may be a result of insufficient number of sperms and poor motility. Spermatozoon consists of a head,midpiece and tail. The long tail consist micro-tubules that from part of the propulsion system of the spermatozoon. Motility of sperm is the result of relation between ATP,micro-tubules and dynein. Depression is one of t...
