The Protection Of Vitamin C And Vitamin E From Oxidation Caused By 1800mhz Electromagnetic Radiation

Radio frequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) which is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a rate of oscillation in the range of around 3 kHz to 300 GHz, has aroused worldwide attention in decades because of the extensive use of mobile phones and electronic appliances. To investigate whether the 1800MHz RF-EMR could induced oxidation and the function of Vitamin C and Vitamin E for cells, Balb/c-3T3, Hela, HepG2 and Eca-109 cells were exposed to 1800MHz RF-EMR for 1h at the pattern of 5 min on and 5 min off. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and glutathione (GSH) content were detected. The results indicated that 1800MHz RF-EMR induced cells SOD activity compensatory increasing and GSH content decreasing. Vitamin C and Vitamin E could scavenge the free radicals resulting in SOD activity decreasing and GSH content increasing.
