Adult
Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to regular cell phones for 6 h per
day for 126 days (18 weeks). RT-PCR was used to investigate the
changes in levels of mRNA synthesis of several injury-associated
proteins. Calcium ATPase, Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule, Neural
Growth Factor, and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor were evaluated.
The results showed statistically significant mRNA up-regulation of
these proteins in the brains of rats exposed to cell phone radiation.
These results indicate that relative chronic exposure to cell phone
microwave radiation may result in cumulative injuries that could
eventually lead to clinically significant neurological damage.
