UHF∣∣-EMF (600 mWpeak; 834 MHz; 26.8–40 V/m; vertical polarization) Irradiation from 5.30 pm to 2.00 am for 8.30 h/day, since day of sperm detection until offspring birth.
Adult pregnant Wistar rats only for irradiation and their offspring for study
MN assay, activity of antioxidant enzymes, quantified total sulfhydryl content, protein carbonyl, thiobarbituric acid reactive species, and total nonenzymatic antioxidant defense
Significant rise in MN frequency, no difference in oxidative stress parameters in offspring blood and liver
Small area of fore arm s skin in 10 female volunteers
Collection of punch biopsies from exposed and nonexposed areas of skin. Protein extraction by 2-DE and protein expression changes analyzed using PDQuest software.
Radiation exposures from MPs have also been suggested to affect protein expression in human skin samples
Pulsed MW from 3 GHz, 5.5 GHz and 9.4 GHz Marine RADAR
Marine RADAR operators
Comet assay, MN assay, GSH3, and MDA4 estimation
Significant changes found in comet and MN assay parameters indicating cytogenetic disruptions with dropped GSH levels and increased MDA levels in exposed groups
