Summary:
This in vivo study investigated the impact of melatonin treatment when exposure to microwave radiation occurs. Rats were exposed to a 900 MHz RF field, 160 volts per metre (roughly 1.5 times the occupational exposure limit), for 4 hours a day, for 20, 40 and 60 days. Rats were divided into four treatment groups (rats not exposed/control, rats treated with melatonin, rats exposed, and rats exposed and treated with melatonin). The treatments were examined for oxidative stress, as it is the key mechanism on how microwave causes tissue injury. Overall, the melatonin treatment led to a decrease in oxidative stress.
