AUTHORS' ABSTRACT: Kameshwaran et al. 2014 (IEEE #5747): The interaction of mobile phone radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) with
the brain is a serious concern of our society. In this study, we aimed to experiment on the
anti-oxidative property of methanolic extract of Tecoma stans (METS) to protect central
nervous system against oxidative damages of mobile phone electromagnetic field (EMF).
Healthy male albino wistar rats were exposed to RF-EMR by giving 5 min calling/5 min
interval for 1 hour per day for 2 months, keeping a GSM (0.9/1.8 GHz) mobile phone in
silent mode (no ring tone) in the cage. After 15, 30, 45, 60 days exposure, three randomly
picked animals from each group were tested with using behavioural model of CNS on
rats. Tecoma stans flowers extract could be effective in decreasing immobility (P < 0.05)
and increased locomotor activity (P < 0.05). This result indicates the protective effect
of Tecoma stans flowers against EMF induced oxidative damage of central nervous system. |
