Effect of 950 MHz UHF Electromagnetic radiation on biomarkers of oxidative damage, metabolism of UFA and antioxidants in the liver of young rats of different ages med./bio.

Aim of study (acc. to author)

Background/further details

Endpoint

• oxidative stress in the liver

Exposure

• • 950 MHz
  • UHF fields

Extended view Compact view

Methods Endpoint/measurement parameters/methodology

• genotoxicity/mutation: DNA strand breaks in the liver (comet assay)
• molecular biosynthesis: content of fatty acids in the liver (gas chromatography, flame ionization detector)
• oxidative stress in the liver: lipid peroxidation (via thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances), protein oxidation (level of carbonyl groups, spectrophotometry), level of catalase (immunoblotting); body weight
