ID Number		1156
Study Type		In Vivo
Model		Mobile phone exposure to humans and analysis of oxidative stress endpoints in isolated peripheral RBCs
Details		Human volunteers (n=12) exposed to mobile phone RF (technology undefined) for 1, 2 and 4 hours with phone on "standby" mode. Following exposure, erythrocytes were collected and analyzed for lipid peroxide and superoxide dismutase (SOD), total glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase activities. The authors report total plasma lipid peroxide was significantly increased, and SOD and total GSH-Px were significantly decreased, after 1, 2 and 4 hours of exposure. The activity of catalase in did not decrease significantly. The authors conclude that mobile phone RF exposure may cause cellular oxidative stress.
