Cell phone, Radiation, Myocardium, Inflammation, Curcuma longaAbstract
This study on sixty albino rats divided in four groups. Group A was control, B exposed to
radiations one hour daily (Cell phone2G 900-1900 MHz), C given Curcuma longa
(turmeric)orally(166.5mg/kg/day) emulsified with olive oil and D exposed to both radiations and
Curcuma longa orally. After 2 month of exposure animals, sacrificed by cervical dislocation then
heart dissected out, preserved, processed and stained with H & E examined under microscope.
Observations of myocardium in group B shown amorphous deposits, inflammation and
mononuclear infiltration, congestion, karyopyknosis. while structural enhancement in group C
than group A and minimal effects in group D than group B. Concluded that Regular cell phone
exposure has produced, alteration in cellular and nuclear structure which could be minimized by
using turmeric in proper manner.
