ID Number		2433
Study Type		In Vivo
Model		Behavior (anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and depression-like behavior) was measured in mice exposed 1 h/d for 7, 30, 60, 90 and 120 days to 2450 MHz.
Details		AUTHORS' ABSTRACT: Salunke et al. 2015 (IEEE #5830): The present investigation was carried out with an objective to study the influence of high frequency electromagnetic field (HF-EMF) on anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and depression-like behavior. For exposure to HF-EMF, non-magnetic material was used to fabricate the housing. Mice were exposed to HF-EMF (2.45 GHz), 60 min/day for 7 or 30 or 60 or 90 or 120 days. The exposure was carried out by switching-on inbuilt class-I BLUETOOTH device that operates on 2.45 GHz frequency in file transfer mode at a peak density of 100 mW. Mice were subjected to the assessment of anxiety, OCD and depression-like behavior for 7 or 30 or 60 or 90 or 120 days of exposure. The anxiety-like behavior was assessed by elevated plus maze, open field test and social interaction test. OCD-like behavior was assessed by marble burying behavior, whereas depression-like behavior was assessed by forced swim test and tail suspension test. The present experiment demonstrates that up to 120 days of exposure to HF-EMF does not produce anxiety, OCD and depression-like behavior in mice.
