ABSTRACT
Investigation of the histological and histochemical changes in the lung of male albino rats exposed to mobile phone radiation and the possible protective role of vitamin E or Silymarin. The present study was carried out on 36 adult male albino rats [Sprague dawly]; they were divided equally into 6 groups [C group control rats; R group rats exposed to 900 MHz [2h /day] of radiofrequency electromagnetic field [RF-EMF] radiation; S group positive control rats given Silymarin; E group positive control rats given Vitamin E; R+S group rats treated with Silymarin post EMF irradiation and R+E group treated with vitamin E post EMF irradiation]. Rats exposed to mobile phone radiation showed numerous histological and histochemical changes; these changes were ameliorated by using vitamin E or Silymarin. Vitamin E showed anti-damaging effect of lung tissue exposed to mobile phone radiation more than Silymarin. The present study showed that the natural anti-oxidant Silymarin and vitamin E could protect the lung tissue from the damage produced after the exposure to mobile phone radiation. Vitamin E showed significant anti-damaging effect more than the anti-damaging effect of Silymarin
