A STUDY OF HISTOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF RADIATION ANDCOMBINED EFFECTS OF 2G MOBILE PHONE RADIATIONS WITHTURMERIC (CURCUMA LONGA) ON SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES OF TESTIS OF ALBINO RATS

Abstract

Introduction-The aim of present study is to observe the histological changes due o effect of
electromagnetic radiations(EMR) on the seminiferous tubules of testis of Albino rats & find out
the changes due to combined effect of cucurma longa and radiation on the seminiferous tubules
of testis of albino rats in the department of anatomy ,Dr. S.N. Medical college jodhpur (Raj.)
.This Study highlights some adverse effects of EMR and benefits of curcuma longa for primary
prevention and treatment of cell damage due to regular use of cell phone.
Material and method- This study was conducted on thirty two male albino rats, were divided
into four groups A,B,C,D. Group A was taken as control .Group B was exposed to radiations
from cell phone (2G mobile 900-1900 Mhz).Group C was given curcuma longa orally & group D
was exposed to both radiations and orally curcuma longa.
Result-After 2 months of exposure animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and their
testis were used for observing histological changes. The regular cell phone radiation exposure
on testis produced thinner irregular shape boundaries in seminiferous tubules. Conclusion-. Regular exposure of cell phone leads to structural variation in seminiferous tubules
which could be decreased by using curcuma longa.
