A Scientific Reports animal study exposed male rats to 6 GHz electromagnetic fields for two hours per day over 30 days and tested whether Coenzyme Q10 changed the liver response. The authors report higher oxidative stress, inflammation, DNA-damage and endoplasmic-reticulum stress markers after exposure, while CoQ10 mitigated several of those changes.

"We evaluated endoplasmic reticulum stress responses in hepatic tissues following 6 GHz electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure and the protective effects of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)."

"Rats in the exposure groups were subjected to 6 GHz EMF exposure (0.21 mW/cm2; specific absorption rate: 0.014 W/kg) for 2 h/day over 30 consecutive days."

— Akyildiz et al. (2026)

"6 GHz EMF induces hepatic dysfunction via oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, inflammation, and DNA damage, whereas CoQ10 mitigates these effects of EMF exposure."
