Abstract
Purpose of the study: This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different time exposures to different electromagnetic waves sources on brain structure, stress behavior, motor function and homeostasis in infant New-Zealand White rabbits, during suckling period up to weaning at 5 weeks.Subjects:200 rabbits from both sexes participated in this study with average age 1 week at an industrial private rabbitry with 350 mother{u2019}s capacity at Mansoura city, Dakahlia, Egypt. Methods: All animals were comparable experimental homogeneous. They were divided into ten groups of equal number (20 in each) (Study groups 1, 2 and 3 that were exposed to mobile phone radiations for 2, 4 and 6 hours daily respectively, Study groups 4, 5 and 6 were exposed to Wi-Fi radiations for 2, 4 and 6 hours daily respectively, Study groups 7, 8 and 9 were exposed to both mobile phone & WiFi radiations for 2, 4 and 6 hours daily respectively and control group with no exposure). The experimental work was carried out to assess motor function using the Open Field Test Scale and Hindlimb Motor Function Scoring System including motor function, locomotion and circular motion, brain structure was assessed by histological examinations, weight up to weaning and stress response by measuring amount of feces, skin temperature, pulse and respiratory rates. The experimental exposure lasted for four weeks during suckling period (pre weaning period) from two weeks age up to weaning at five weeks age. Results: Before the study, there was no significant difference in the mean values of all variables among the ten groups. After study there were significantly harmful effects in each studied parameters. WiFi groups recorded worse values in both parameters studied (motor development and neural stress revealed by apoptosis in histological examination),compared by mobile phone while the worst results were recorded in the groups that were exposed to both WiFi and mobile phone radiations.The harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation were increased by increasing exposure time in all studied groups (mobile phone and WiFi groups)
