ABSTRACT
Akbari
A, Jelodar G, Nazifi S., Effect of radiofrequency waves and L-ascorbic
acid on adrenal tissue glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase and malondialdehyde in male Sprague-Dawley rats, Onl J Vet Res., 27 (6): 372-377, 2023. Radio
frequency waves (RFW) generated by base transceiver station may affect
endocrine system function by oxidative stress. Three groups of 8 adult male
Sprague-Dawley rats were treated daily for 45 days 200mg/kg vitamin C (1),
exposed to 900MHz waves (2) or both (3). Controls were not treated or exposed
(4). At day 46, rats were
sacrificed
for adrenal tissue
glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and malondialdehyde (MDA). Results suggested that
exposure to RFW reduced SOD ~50% but Vitamin C boosted the enzyme ~45-50% even
compared with controls. The vitamin prevented ~36% reductions in GSH and CAT in
rats exposed to RFW. Vitamin C prevented increases in lipid peroxidation by
~46-50% boosted (P<0.05) SOD 50%, GSH 36%, CAT 37% but reduced (P<0.05)
MDA 46%. Our
findings suggest that RFW may induce oxidative stress in adrenal gland and that
vitamin C may reduce this effect.
