The individual and simultaneous effect of the microwaves and sharp sound on sperm viability and total antioxidant capacity of plasma in male rats

Abstract

Background: There is a great concern for the possible adverse effects of radiofrequency radiations of cell phones. Moreover, unwanted sound is one of the physical pollutants of current societies. Thus, the present study was conducted to examine the effect of cell phone waves, sound, and simultaneous effect of cell phone waves and sound on sperm viability and total antioxidant capacity of blood plasma in adult male rats.
