Exposure to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is rapidly increasing in everyday environment, consequently conferring potential health effects. Oxidative stress is emerging as a mechanism implicated in pathophysiology and progression of various diseases. To our knowledge, no report has been made on the status of antioxidant redox systems after continuous exposure to radiofrequency radiation emitted from a Wi-Fi access point in animal model so far. Therefore, we aimed to continuously subject rats in the experimental group to radiofrequency (RF) radiation emitted from a commercially available Wi-Fi device. Male Wister rats were exposed to 2.45 GHz RF radiation emitted from a Wi-Fi for 24 h/day for 10 consecutive weeks. In order to assess the change in antioxidant redox system of plasma after continuous exposure to a Wi-Fi device, the total antioxidant capacity of plasma, level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, concentration of reduced glutathione (GSH), and activity of different enzymatic antioxidants, e.g., superoxide dismutase [SOD], catalase [CAT], glutathione peroxidase [GSH-Px], and glutathione S-transferase [GST], were measured. In the Wi-Fi exposed group, a significant decrease was detected in total antioxidant capacity of plasma and the activities of several antioxidant enzymes, including CAT, GSH-Px, and SOD (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the GST activity was significantly increased in this group (P < 0.05). However, no significant changes were found in GSH and TBARS levels following exposure to RF radiation. According to the results, oxidative defense system in rats exposed to Wi-Fi signal was significantly affected compared to the control group. Further studies are needed to better understand the possible biological mechanisms of EMR emitted from Wi-Fi device and relevant outcomes.
目前,还没有关于动物模型中持续暴露于 Wi-Fi 接入点发射的射频辐射后抗氧化还原系统状态的报告。因此,我们旨在连续将实验组大鼠暴露于商用 Wi-Fi 设备发射的射频辐射下。雄性 Wistar 大鼠连续 10 周每天 24 小时暴露于 Wi-Fi 产生的 2.45GHz 射频辐射下。为了评估连续暴露于 Wi-Fi 设备后血浆抗氧化还原系统的变化,我们测量了血浆总抗氧化能力、硫代巴比妥酸反应物质水平、还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)浓度以及不同酶抗氧化剂的活性,如超氧化物歧化酶[SOD]、过氧化氢酶[CAT]、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶[GSH-Px]和谷胱甘肽 S-转移酶[GST]。在 Wi-Fi 暴露组中,血浆总抗氧化能力和几种抗氧化酶的活性,包括 CAT、GSH-Px 和 SOD,均显著降低(P<0.05)。同时,该组 GST 活性显著升高(P<0.05)。然而,暴露于射频辐射后 GSH 和 TBARS 水平没有显著变化。结果表明,与对照组相比,暴露于 Wi-Fi 信号的大鼠氧化防御系统受到明显影响。需要进一步研究以更好地理解 Wi-Fi 设备发射的电磁辐射的可能生物学机制和相关结果。
