| Abstract | Background: Electromagnetic waves of cell -phone as an integral part of life make different biological effects. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cell- phonelike waves on a mouse epilepsy model induced by pentylenetetrazole. Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 75 male mice (weighing 25-30 g) that were divided to 5 groups (n=15). Except for control group, they were exposed to 950 MHz magnetic waves with an antenna power density of 3 or 6 mW/cm2 and modulation of 100 or 217 KHz for a week. Then, 75mg/Kg of pentylenetetrazole was injected intraperitoneally to all mice. Seizure onset, duration of tonic and tonic-clonic seizures and total seizure duration (from start to finish of the seizure) were measured. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey test. Findings: The seizure onset in treatment groups was not significantly different from control group. The duration of tonic seizures was significantly increased in the group which was exposed to 6 mW/cm2–100 KHz waves (P | en |
