Background & Aims: In the recent years, increasing rate of using electronic devices which generate electromagnetic fields , has caused researchers, attention to the effects of electromagnetic fields on human health. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of prolonged exposure to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields(ELF) on the Cholinergic system in the small intestine of r...

background: men are unavoidably exposed to ambient electromagnetic fields (emf) generated from various electrical gadgets and from power transmission lines. prostate gland plays an important role in secretion of semen as largest accessory gland of male reproductive system. it seems that protection of this gland against emf is important in spermatogenesis process. objective: the goal of this stu...

background : effects of electromagnetic fields on healing have been investigated for centuries. substantial data indicates that exposure to electromagnetic field can lead to enhanced healing in both soft and hard tissues. helmholtz coil is a device that generates pulsed electromagnetic fields. objective : in this study, a pair of helmholtz coils for enhancing the healing process in periodontiti...

due to the increasing presence of electromagnetic radiation in advanced societies, investigation of the effects of this radiation on humans has attracted the interest of many researchers. the non- ionizing radiation can induce numerous effects through biomolecules in the tissue and cells. in the current study, effects of 12 hz electromagnetic waves investigated on neuronal hormone levels in rat...

Background: Nowadays, mothers are continuously exposed to different sources of electromagnetic fields before and even during pregnancy.  It has recently been shown that exposure to mobile phone radiation during pregnancy may lead to adverse effects on the brain development in offspring and cause hyperactivity. Researchers have shown that behavioral problems in laboratory animals which have a s...

introduction: the use of cell phones is widespread and there are public concerns regarding its possible deleterious effects on human health especially on the pregnancy outcomes. in this study, structural changes of the placenta after applying the cell phone radiation were examined in the mice model.   materials and methods: for this work, 40 pregnant balb/c mice were randomly allocated to one c...

introduction: nitric oxide is an important endogenous compound that acts as bronchodilator in trachea. electromagnetic fields (emf) affect nitric oxide level in different tissues. the interaction of nitrergic and cholinergic systems in airways has been reported. therefore, the present study was performed to evaluate the interaction of cholinergic and nitrergic systems in the trachea of rats tha...
