Abstract

ABSTRACT Objectives: To investigate histopathological effect on reproductive system and the behavioral effect in female albino mice due to exposure to mobile phone radiation. Methods: Twelve female albino mice were divided into two groups. Group 1, was healthy mice without expose to mobile phone radiation; group 2, exposed to mobile phone radiation for one hour (ringing) per day for ninety days. At the end of the experiment, behaviour study was carried out using plus maze and forced swimming maze; followed by histological examination of the ovary and uterus. Results: Mice exposed to mobile phone radiation did not show any changes in behavior. While, mice exposed to electromagnetic radiation from mobile phone showed ovarian cortex reduction in number of primordial and primary follicles, absence of oocyte inside the follicle, and large amount of vacuolated cytoplasm in Corpus luteum.
