Introduction: The continuous rapid growth of the telecommunications industry and common application of cell phones have raised debates on the human health risks associated with exposure to radio frequency fields due to these phones or their base stations and other sources such as radar, radio/television waves, and industrial and medical applications. This study aimed to invest...

ferritin is a macromolecule and is responsible for the long term iron storage function in human serum and plasma. recent studies have highlighted the role of cell phone exposure on central nervous system, immune function and reproduction. the aim of this study was to investigate whether the human serum ferritin level could be interfered by the exposure to the 900 mhz gsm cell phones. fifty huma...

800x600 background: nowadays, mothers are continuously exposed to different sources of electromagnetic fields before and even during pregnancy.   it has recently been shown that exposure to mobile phone radiation during pregnancy may lead to adverse effects on the brain development in offspring and cause hyperactivity. researchers have shown that behavioral problems in laboratory animals which ...

Background Low birth weight is one of the most important health indicators in evaluating pregnancy care worldwide. We aimed to evaluate the effect of cell phones used in pregnancy on fetal growth and preterm labor. Materials and Methods The search process included screening the rel...

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 Meth...

abstract background & aim: recent increase of hormonal disorders in human may be correlated to the increased exposure to electromagnetic fields produced by various instruments, including cell phones. thyroid gland is one of the organs most likely to be exposed to cell phone radiation. whereas garlic is known as reducing risk factors for various diseases. the aim of this study is to assess the a...

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...

Background Use of cellular phones emitting radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) has been increased exponentially and become a part of everyday life. This study aimed to investigate the effects of in vitro RF-EMF exposure emitted from cellular phones on sperm motility index, sperm DNA fragmentation and seminal clusterin (CLU) gene expression. MaterialsAndMethods In this prospective stud...
