The effects of Towers Electromagnetic on White Mice Thyroid Gland: an Histological Study

Abstract

The study designed to investigated the effects of towers electromagnetic radiation on the white mice thyroid gland histological structures and some physiological function after exposed to radiation. Twenty male, white mice were used as experimental model and divided into 2 groups. Group A and group B,  each comprised  of 10 mice and acted as control and treated group respectively. The histological features of the control group revealed normal structures.While, cellular proliferation accumulated between the high aggregations of small follicles, a lot of blood congestion in deferent locations of thyroid parenchyma, acute degenerations and aggregations of inflammatory cells, necrosis, and blood congestion were the prominent histopathological changes in treated group.Additionally,  to the absence oflined epithelial layer of the internal surface of  thyroid folliclesin many locations revealingprominent vacuoles. The biochemical investigation revealed significant increase in the levels of T3 and T4 in the treated group  in compare to control group that revealed normal levels, In conclusion, the results of this study approved that tower radiation treated mice group  revealed both biochemical and histopathological changes of the thyroid gland. The authors recommend to do more future studies to investigate the other side effects of tower electromagnetic radiation on body organs,
