Evaluation of the Effects of a 50 Hz Electric Field on Brain Tissue by Immunohistochemical Method, and on Blood Tissue by Biochemical, Physiological and Comet Method

The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible effects a 50 Hz electric field on brain tissue and positive juglone (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) antioxidant activity, using immunohistochemical technique male Wistar-Albino rats. blood were also examined biochemical, physiological comet methods. Animals randomly divided into three groups (eight in each group): group I: control, II: field, III: + (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone)/300 ppm. Juglone applied per day by gavage over 30 days. At end experimental procedure, animals sacrificed subjected routine histologic processes. As result histophatological examination, rats with exposure showed severe histopathological changes. differences between statistically significant according total score (p = 0.001). For parameters blood, SOD activity significantly higher among other groups, although we did not find MDA, CAT level.
