Abstract
Introduction: According to increasing use of modern technology in some industries and equipment by men protect of EMF is very important as a new problem.
Objectives: Survey of effects of electromagnetic fields on prostate in rat.
Materials and Methods: In this study 50 male and 50 female 15 rats (15 weeks age) were selected as parents rats. Reproductive system were exposed 50 Hz EMF (non-ionizing radiation). Among born rats, 30 rats were selected as control and case groups randomly. In case group, Rats were exposed under E M F during 5 weeks. At the end of this time, biopsy of prostate was performed of 50 rats of both groups.
Results: Prostate is an important gland of male genital organs. It is made up 30-50 small glands. In this study we found that secretary epithelial cells were inactive and cubical generally. Their nucleuses were dense. Corpus Amylase was more than normal. Smooth muscle cells spread out in different directions with heterochromatic nucleus.
Conclusion: Based on this study it is suggested that human's staying under EMF exposure not safe for spermatogenesis process and prostate gland's normal activities. So it can increase the risk of sterility in men.
