COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF SHORT AND LONG ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION (1800 MHz) ON THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM OF MALE RATS
Abstract
The effect of short (7 days) and long (90 days) electromagnetic radiation from mobile phone (1800 MHz) on the weight of reproductive organs, the spermatogenesis, the quality and number of epididymal sperms of male rats, who underwent radiation at the sexually immature age, were studied. It was established that on the 1st and 30th days after exposure, significant changes in the considered parameters were revealed, which were more pronounced at short-term radiation. Electromagnetic radiation caused a significant drop in the viability of mature sex cells, which may affect the fertility of animals.
