Study the effect of mobile electromagnetic waves on growth Hormone in rats

Abstract

Introduction: In the modern life of today, the use of mobile phones is remarkable Growth hormone is a hormone released from the anterior pituitary or adenohypophysis. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of mobile phone waves on the prolactin
hormone of female rats.
Materials & Methods: In this study, 35 adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, each containing 7 rats. Control group who received no waves for 7 days, Sham group 1 and 2 who were exposed to mobile phones for 7 days, 3 and 6 hours on every day only (no conversation). Experimental group 1 and 2 exposed to mobile waves (in conversation) for 3 and 6 hours respectively for 7 days. The serum samples were collected and the growth hormone was measured by Eliza method. The data were analyzed using SPSS software and one-way ANOVA.
Result: The results showed that two experimental groups 1 and 2 had a significant decrease in the mean concentration of growth hormone with control groups and two groups of sham 1 and 2. Also, the decrease in growth hormone in experimental group 2 compared to experimental group 1 was significant. The Sham 2 group also had a significant decrease compared to the control group.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate a significant decrease in the concentration of growth hormone in groups affected by the waves from mobile phone.
