| Introduction: Almost
all of populations have involuntary irradiation from waves that emitted by base
station antenna. This in vivo study was planned for evaluating the effects of
950 MHz waves of GSM mobile phone system on dentate gyrus long-term
potentiation. Materials
and Methods: 32
naive male Wistar rats (3 month old, 220 + 15 g) randomly
divided in four groups: (LTP immediately after sham–exposed, LTP immediately
after GSM exposed, LTP 3 hours after sham–exposed and LTP 3 hours after GSM). The
exposure program was planned for 10 sessions at 3 days. Animals were exposed to
electromagnetic field for 45-min in a circular plastic chamber (mean electric
field = 60 V/m). After end exposure, anesthesia was induced for LTP induction.
Field potentials were recorded and analyzed using the population spike
amplitude, EPSP slope and spike delay time for 60-min. Results: There
were no significant differences in population spike amplitude and spike delay
time immediately after exposure. But these parameters, three hours after exposure
were changed. Conclusion: This experiment provides that rat's long-term
potentiation could be affected by the whole-body exposure to 950 MHz field of
GSM mobile phone system |
