Morphological structure of rat epiphysis exposed to electromagnetic radiation from communication devices

Abstract

Pineal gland is one of the most important components of homeostasis - the supporting system of the body. It participates in the launch of stress responses, restriction of their development, prevention of adverse effects on the body. There was proved an impact of electromagnetic radiation on the epiphysis. However, morphological changes in the epiphysis under exposure to electromagnetic radiation of modern communication devices are studied not sufficiently. For the time present the population is daily exposed to electromagnetic radiation, including local irradiation on the brain. These date determined the task of this research - the study of the structure of rat pineal gland under the exposure to electromagnetic radiation from personal computers and mobile phones. These date determined the task of this research - the study of the structure of rat pineal gland under the exposure to electromagnetic radiation from personal computers and mobile phones. Performed transmission electron microscopy revealed signs of degeneration of dark and light pinealocytes. These signs were manifested in the development of a complex of general and specific morphological changes. There was revealed the appearance of signs of aging and depletion transmission electron microscopy both in light and dark pinealocytes. These signs were manifested in the accumulation of lipofuscin granules and electron-dense "brain sand", the disappearance of nucleoli, cytoplasm vacuolization and mitochondrial cristae enlightenment.

Effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation on the organism as a whole and structural units (Literature review)

“…Установлено негативное влияние ЭМИ 925 МГц на морфологическую структуру эпифиза крыс [47], проявляющееся исчезновением ядрышек и вакуализацией цитоплазмы, накоплением гранул липофусцина и электронного плотного «мозгового песка».…”

Influence of electromagnetic environment of mobile communication devices on incidence of cardiovascular diseases

“…There is evidence of influence of radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic radiation (EMR) on non-carcinogenic risks for public health [1]. Experimental studies have shown that RF EMR affects laboratory animals [2][3][4]. On several occasions [5] areas with elevated risk of adverse influence on health of mobile communication users were identified, ecological situation and possible risks for public health due to environmental contamination by electromagnetic fields of mobile communication base stations were evaluated [6].…”
