1800 MHz radiofrequency (mobile phones, different Global System for Mobile communication modulations) does not affect apoptosis and heat shock protein 70 level in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from young and old donors med./bio.

Aim of study (acc. to author)

Endpoint

• effects on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential; heat shock protein 70)
