Potential Impact of Simulated Mobile Phone Radiation on Blood-Brain Barrier

Abstract

Rats were experimentally exposed to the chemical factor, inorganic manganese (Mn), and the physical factor, simulated radiation of mobile phone to detect possible interactions, resulting in changes of brain Mn level or other changes. In acute test, significant increase in brain Mn level was observed in rats exposed to both factors as compared to Mn only. Within subchronic 3-month' test such interaction did not appear, but in vivo observation of exposed rats at the end of the test have demonstrated signficant behavioral changes as compared to unexposed rats.
