Conditions Time
SMFs Mouse Cochlea tissue of C57BL/6 mice 5 mT 1/3/5/7/14 days (8 h first day, 2 h/day for the rest) CAT and SOD activities significantly increased only after 3 days exposure, but not others [44]
Plant Soybean seeds 150–200 mT 1 h SOD activity was reduced [37]
Broad bean (Vicia faba L.) 15 mT 8 h/day, 8 days SOD increased, CAT decreased, indirectly suggest ROS accumulation [111]
ELF-EMFs Mouse cells Preadipocyte cell (3T3-L1) 180–195 Hz, 120 μT 36 min/day, 2 days SOD decreased, CAT increased, GSH-Px and GSSG-Rd with no change after 24 h; but SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px significantly decreased, GSSG-Rd with no change after 48 h [112]
Mouse Balb/c mouse brain 60 Hz, 1.2 mT 3 h SOD increased [113]
RF-EMRs Rat cells Male Wistar rats sperm 50 GHz 2 h/day, 45 days CAT significantly increased, SOD and GSH-Px significantly decreased [114]
Rat Female Wistar rats 900 MHz 1 h/day, 7 days No change (SOD and GSH-Px decreased non-significantly) [115]
Male SD rats 30 min/day, 3 months No change (SOD, CAT and GSH-Px decreased marginally) [116]
Brain of male Wistar rats 2 h/day, 45 days SOD and GSH-Px decreased, CAT increased [101]
Rabbit Male albino rabbits 30 min/day, 7 days Serum SOD activity increased [117]
