background: the use of devices emitted microwave radiation such as mobile phones, wireless fidelity (wi-fi) routers, etc. is increased rapidly. it has caused a great concern; the researchers should identify its effects on people's health. we evaluated the protective role of vitamin c on the metabolic and enzymatic activities of the liver after exposure to wi-fi routers. material and methods: 70...

background: hormesis is defined as the bio-positive response of something which is bio-negative in high doses. in the present study, the effect of radiation hormesis was evaluated on the survival rate of immunosuppressed balb/c mice by cyclosporine a. materials and methods: we used 75 consanguine, male, balb/c mice in this experiment. the first group received technetium-99m (3700bq) and the sec...

Objective(s): Scientific interest in potential mobile phone impact on human brain and performance has significantly increased in recent years. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of mobile phone radiation on seizure threshold in mice. Materials and methods:BALB/c male mice were randomly divided into three groups: control, acute, and chronic mobile phone radiation for 30, 60, ...

the harmful effects of the long-term ocular exposure to cumulative levels of infrared radiation (ir) in glassblowing and foundries have been recognized since the late 19th century. these effects include cataracts, keratitis, and chronic dry eye problems. therefore, infrared radiation measurements are critical and need to be assessed regularly in the industries and workplaces where there are hig...

background: radioprotective effect of famotidine was previously shown on radiation induced micronuclei and chromosomal aberrations in human peripheral lymphocytes and mouse bone marrow cells however, its radioprotective property has never been studied in mouse spermatogenesis. it was also shown that vitamin c as an antioxidant also exert its radioprotective effect on many biological systems, bu...

background: radiation-induced lung injury is a refractory side effect in lung cancer radiotherapy, the mechanism still remains unclear, hence an appropriate animal mode may become useful to investigate it. materials and methods: 50 female wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, average 10 rats/cage: a. control group b. 3gy×10f c. 6gy×5f d. 12.5gy×1f e.15.3gy×1f. by different doses of r...
