A systematic review in Reproductive Toxicology examined 88 rodent studies on radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation and male fertility endpoints. The authors report biologically plausible signals, including oxidative and reproductive alterations in subsets of studies, but say the evidence is heterogeneous and limited by study-quality and dosimetry uncertainties.

"From 4220 records, screening and updated searches yielded 88 eligible studies."

— Naderi et al.

"Included studies used multiple rat and mouse strains exposed to 800-24,000 MHz RF-EMR, with reported specific absorption rates of 0.014-34 W/kg."

— Naderi et al.

"Evaluated outcomes included sperm parameters, oxidative stress biomarkers, lipid peroxidation, DNA damage, apoptosis, testicular histopathology, and hormonal indices."

— Naderi et al.

"Current evidence suggests biologically plausible signals but does not support a uniform causal interpretation."

— Naderi et al.
