Summary: During modern era, various electronic devices using radiofrequency waves have become essential in our daily lives. The increasing risk of male infertility is a growing concern, as excessive exposure to non-ionizing radiation may cause genetic health effects on the male reproductive system. Studies on the genotoxic effects of radiofrequency (RF) waves have shown contradictory results regarding their impact on humans and animals. This review focuses on the genomic impact of RF-EMF on male infertility, discussing the potential damage to DNA, chromosomal aberrations, micronuclei formation, and oxidative stress caused by RF radiation exposure.

Summary: Minocycline, a semisynthetic tetracycline antibiotic, not only exhibits antibacterial activity but also shows antioxidative effects. Long-term use of minocycline may cause skin hyperpigmentation. Research indicates that minocycline induces oxidative stress in human melanocytes but can also increase cell viability and mitigate oxidative stress when exposed to hydrogen peroxide and UVA radiation. Additionally, the different impact of minocycline on CAT activity compared to other tetracyclines may be attributed to the binding site location.

Summary: Green tea supplementation has significant effects on total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in adults, with heterogeneity between studies related to gender and BMI. Meta-regression analysis suggests a linear inverse association between the dosage of green tea and significant change in malondialdehyde (MDA). Further research is needed to validate these findings.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of mobile phone RF-EMR on mouse embryo development and genetic toxicity. Results showed that exposure to RF-EMR led to delayed cleavage development and a longer time to reach the blastocyst stage. It also caused changes in the transcript levels of oxidative stress associated genes.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of mobile phone usage time by pregnant women on fidgety movements and motor repertoires of infants in the prenatal period. The findings showed that infants of pregnant women who used mobile phones for longer durations had more abnormal movement patterns. The results suggested a possible relationship between prenatal exposure to radiofrequency radiation and motor development in infants.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of pre- and postnatal exposure to 2450 MHz continuous wave radiofrequency radiation (RFR) on the thymus of rats spanning four generations. The results showed that continuous 12-hour daily exposure to RFR did not have a significant impact on the structure and cells of the thymus in the second and third generations. However, when both males and females were exposed to RFR, vascularization was observed in the thymus of the fourth-generation offspring. Additionally, there was a decrease in the number and mass of offspring in the third-generation group.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi exposure on microRNA and fatty acid composition of brain cells. The findings indicate that long-term and excessive exposure to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi radiation can increase the levels of rno-miR-181a-5p, phosphatidylserine (PS), and triacylglycerol (TAG) in the brain.

Summary: This paper examines the extensive research on radiofrequency radiation (RFR) over the past 25 years and finds that the assumptions underlying the exposure limits set by the FCC and ICNIRP are invalid and pose a threat to public health. Studies have shown adverse effects from RFR exposures below the assumed threshold, including the induction of reactive oxygen species, DNA damage, cardiomyopathy, carcinogenicity, sperm damage, and neurological effects. Human studies have also found significant associations between RFR exposure and increased risks of brain and thyroid cancer.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of 2450 MHz continuous wave radiofrequency radiation (RFR) on brain development in fetuses, histopathological changes in female rats, and the hippocampal level of MAPK proteins in male rats over four generations. The results showed that RFR exposure caused hemorrhagic areas, irregular cellular localization, and abnormal vascular structures in the brains of fetal and adult female rats. Additionally, the levels of MAPK proteins were increased in the brains of adult male rats. These findings suggest that RFR exposure may affect cognitive processes such as learning and memory, and cause damage to both fetal and adult brain tissue, with potential effects on future generations.
