| Abstract | ||||
| Aim of the work: i to discuss the possible protective effect of vitamin E as a model of powerful antioxidant on the testes of adult albino rates exposed for electromagnetic field (EMF) emitted from cellular phone. This study also detected and described signs of morphological and behavior changes that can appear on the rats. Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out on 120 healthy adult albino rats. The rats were divided into 3 main groups. Group I (control group): consisted of 40 rats. These rats were kept in the animal house away from any source of EMF. Group II (radiation group): consisted of 40 rats that were exposed to EMF emitted from mobile phone for 60 days. Group III (radiation and vitamin group): consisted of 40 rats, those were exposed to EMF emitted from mobile phone for 60 days and simultaneously they received vitamin E, orally. Results: Electromagnetic field exposed rats showed testicular alterations, which were ameliorated by using vitamin E. | ||||
