A new mini-review summarizes findings on how extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (1–300 Hz) alter transcriptomic profiles, epigenetic modifications, and hormonal signalling in uterine tissues, raising concerns about female reproductive health.
"This review highlights the potential reproductive risks associated with the ELF-EMF exposure and calls for additional in vivo studies to elucidate its long-term effects on female fertility and reproductive health."
"While direct evidence of ELF-EMF-induced tumorigenesis in the myometrium and the endometrium is lacking, its potential role in disrupting the mRNA transcript abundance involved in oxidative stress, apoptosis and cell proliferation underscores the need for further investigation."
