Effects of extremely low frequency and radiofrequency electromagnetic fields on circadian rhythms of some blood parameters in Sprague-Dawley rats

Extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELFEMF-50 Hz) and radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RFEMF-1.8GHz) are the principle source of "electro smog" in modern society and people exposure is increasing year after year, even if there are no certainties about their health effects. Therefore the aim of this study is to investigate the biological effects of electromagnetic fields on the circadian rhythms of three blood parameters of the energetic metabolism:glycaemia, total cholesterol and triglycerides in Sprague-Dawley rats. The study was carried on 36 rats exposed to ELFEMF-50 Hz and 36 rats exposed to RFEMF-1.8 GHz. The results of this study highlight that electromagnetic fields could interact with the biological clock changing the physiological rhythmicity of glycaemia, trygliceridhaemia and cholestrolhaemia in rats and potentially in human too after long term exposure
