Therapeutic action of vitamin c or e on serum biochemical parameters in albino rats exposed to electromagnetic field : “a preliminary study"

Abstract EN

The effect of electromagnetic radiation on vital tissue is an important issue due to the increase usage of mobile communication.

The present study was designed to understand whether electromagnetic field (electric field strength of 40-120 V / m) generated by mobile telecommunication antenna could act as an environmental insult and cause changes in the biochemical parameters in the serum of albino rats.

It also aims to study the therapeutic action of vitamin C or vitamin E (150mg / L) against the harmful effects that might be induced by the electromagnetic field.

Albino rats are randomly divided into four groups each contains 6 animals.

Group one served as control group.

The other three groups were subjected to electromagnetic field for eight hours then rest eight hours without exposure, and treatment was continued for two weeks.

Two groups were treated by vitamin C or E through the experiment.

We found that the electromagnetic field exposure decreased the concentrations of serum glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, total protein and globulin.

While the concentration of albumin, urea, uric acid and cretonne were increased.
