A Reproductive Toxicology experiment randomized 42 adult male Wistar rats to control, resistance exercise, 850 MHz RF-EMF exposure for 7 or 14 days, or exercise plus either exposure duration. Four hours of daily exposure for 14 days increased several oxidative-stress markers and reduced two spermatogenesis indices; rats trained for eight weeks beforehand had lower MDA and TOS and better selected histological indices than exposed untrained rats. CREB expression did not differ between groups.

"Forty-two adult male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to six groups: Control, Exercise, 7-day RF-EMF, 14-day RF-EMF, Exercise + 7-day RF-EMF, and Exercise + 14-day RF-EMF. Exercise groups underwent 8 weeks of ladder-climbing resistance training before RF-EMF exposure. Animals were exposed to 850 MHz RF-EMF for 4 h/day for 7 or 14 consecutive days."

"Fourteen-day RF-EMF exposure significantly increased MDA, SOD, CAT, and TOS and reduced TDI and SPI, while TOS increased after both 7 and 14 days."

— Hatami et al.

"Resistance training was associated with lower MDA and TOS in RF-EMF-exposed animals, with significant reductions in MDA after 14 days and TOS after both exposure durations."

— Hatami et al.

"Resistance training before RF-EMF exposure was associated with attenuation of oxidative and histological testicular alterations, suggesting a potential protective role against RF-EMF-related reproductive effects."

— Hatami et al.
