| Abstract: | A significant decrease in protein kinase C and total sperm count along with
increased apoptosis were observed in male Wistar rats exposed to mobile phone
frequencies (2 h/day × 35 days at 0.9 W/kg specific absorption rate). The
results suggest that a reduction in protein kinase activity may be related to
overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under microwave field exposure.
Decrease in sperm count and an increase in apoptosis may be causative factor
due to mobile radiation exposure leading to infertility. |
