Effects of pre/postnatal 2.45 GHz continuous wave (CW), Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) Microwave (MW) irradiation on bone have yet to be well defined. The present study used biochemical and histological methods to investigate effects on bone formation and resorption in the serum and the tibia bone tissues of growing rats exposed to MW irradiation during the pre/postnatal period. Six groups were created: one control group and five experimental groups subjected to low-level different electromagnetic fields (EMF) of growing male rats born from pregnant rats. During the experiment, the bodies of all five groups were exposed to 2.45 GHz CW-MW for one hour/day. EMF exposure started after fertilization in the experimental group. When the growing male rats were 45 days old in the postnatal period, the control and five experimental groups' growing male and maternal rats were sacrificed, and their tibia tissues were removed. Maternal rats were not included in the study. No differences were observed between the control and five experimental groups in Receptor Activator Nuclear factor-kB (RANK) biochemical results. In contrast, there was a statistically significant increase in soluble Receptor Activator of Nuclear factor-kB Ligand (sRANKL) and Osteoprotegerin (OPG) for 10 V/m and 15 V/m EMF values. Histologically, changes in the same groups supported biochemical results. These results indicate that pre/postnatal exposure to 2.45 GHz EMF at 10 and 15 V/m potentially affects bone development.
产前/产后2.45吉赫兹连续波(CW)、无线保真(Wi-Fi)微波(MW)辐射对骨骼的影响尚未明确界定。本研究采用生化和组织学方法,调查产前/产后暴露于微波辐射的生长中大鼠血清和胫骨骨组织中骨骼形成和吸收的情况。实验设立了六组:一组为对照组,五组为实验组,对怀孕大鼠所生的生长中雄性大鼠施加不同强度的低水平电磁场(EMF)。实验期间,所有五组大鼠每天接受1小时的2.45吉赫兹连续波-微波辐射。实验组在受精后开始暴露于电磁场。当生长中的雄性大鼠出生后45天时,将对照组和五组实验组的生长中雄性大鼠及母鼠处死,并取出它们的胫骨组织。母鼠不纳入本研究。在受体激活核因子-κB(RANK)生化结果方面,对照组和五组实验组之间未观察到差异。相反,对于10伏/米和15伏/米的电磁场强度值,可溶性核因子-κB配体受体激活剂(sRANKL)和骨保护素(OPG)有统计学显著增加。在组织学上,同一组的变化支持了生化结果。这些结果表明,产前/产后暴露于10伏/米和15伏/米的2.45吉赫兹电磁场可能会影响骨骼发育。
