Abstract

Aim: Investigating the effects of mobile phone–emitted radiation (MPR) on inducing histopathological changes associated with amyloidosis feature in liver, kidney and brain of infant mice.
Methods: Twenty one infant mice (aged 1 day) were assigned to 3 groups, the 1^st group served as control, the 2^nd group exposed to mobile phone radiation ( MPR) daily for one month (¾ h /day) and the 3^rd group remained for one month after stopping radiation exposure.
Results: There were different degrees of damage related to amyloidosis feature in these organs subsequent to MPR exposure. One month post exposure there was an increase in the degree of damage related to amyloidosis feature.
Conclusion: the results of this study showed that MPR leads to histopathological changes associated with amyloidosis feature in the liver, kidney and brain of infant mice.
