Abstract

Electromagnetic radiations are reported to produce long-term and short-term biological effects, which are of great concern to human health due to increasing use of devices emitting EMR especially microwave (MW) radiation in our daily life. In view of the unavoidable use of MW emitting devices (microwaves oven, mobile phones, Wi-Fi, etc.) and their harmful effects on biological system, it was thought worthwhile to investigate the long-term effects of low-level MW irradiation on the reproductive function of male Swiss strain mice and its mechanism of action. Twelve-week-old mice were exposed to non-thermal low-level 2.45-GHz MW radiation (CW for 2 h/day for 30 days, power density = 0.029812 mW/cm(2) and SAR = 0.018 W/Kg). Sperm count and sperm viability test were done as well as vital organs were processed to study different stress parameters. Plasma was used for testosterone and testis for 3β HSD assay. Immunohistochemistry of 3β HSD and nitric oxide synthase (i-NOS) was also performed in testis. We observed that MW irradiation induced a significant decrease in sperm count and sperm viability along with the decrease in seminiferous tubule diameter and degeneration of seminiferous tubules. Reduction in testicular 3β HSD activity and plasma testosterone levels was also noted in the exposed group of mice. Increased expression of testicular i-NOS was observed in the MW-irradiated group of mice. Further, these adverse reproductive effects suggest that chronic exposure to nonionizing MW radiation may lead to infertility via free radical species-mediated pathway.

摘要

据报道,电磁辐射会产生长期和短期的生物效应,由于在我们的日常生活中越来越多地使用发射电磁辐射尤其是微波辐射的设备,这些效应对人类健康至关重要。鉴于不可避免地要使用发射微波的设备(微波炉、手机、Wi-Fi等)及其对生物系统的有害影响,人们认为有必要研究低水平微波辐射对雄性瑞士品系小鼠生殖功能的长期影响及其作用机制。将12周龄的小鼠暴露于非热低水平2.45-GHz微波辐射(连续波,每天2小时,共30天,功率密度=0.029812 mW/cm²,比吸收率=0.018 W/Kg)。进行了精子计数和精子活力测试,并对重要器官进行处理以研究不同的应激参数。采集血浆用于检测睾酮,采集睾丸用于3β-HSD检测。还对睾丸进行了3β-HSD和一氧化氮合酶(诱导型一氧化氮合酶)的免疫组织化学检测。我们观察到,微波辐射导致精子计数和精子活力显著下降,同时伴有生精小管直径减小和生精小管退化。在暴露组小鼠中还发现睾丸3β-HSD活性和血浆睾酮水平降低。在微波辐射组小鼠中观察到睾丸诱导型一氧化氮合酶表达增加。此外,这些不良的生殖效应表明,长期暴露于非电离微波辐射可能通过自由基介导的途径导致不育。
