Alteration of nitric oxide production in rats exposed to a prolonged, extremely low-frequency magnetic field
Akdag, M. Zulkuf; Bilgin, M. Hakki; Dasdag, Suleyman; Tumer, Cemil (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2007)The purpose of this stud), is to investigate the possible effect of an extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF) on nitric oxide (NO) level. In this study, 27 male Sprague-Dawley rats were used. The rats were divided ... -
Bioelectrical impedance analyses of patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis
Sert, Cemil; Altindag, Ozlem; Dasdag, Sueleyman; Akdag, M. Zulkuf (Ios Press, 2008)Body composition undergoes changes with aging and menopause. This study was planned to investigate the body composition in postmenopausal women. Total lean, fat mass and total body BMD were measured by dual-energy X-ray ... -

Zulkuf; Ketani, Aydin; Yokus, Beran; Kaya, Abdurrahman; Dasdag, Suleyman (Int Scientific Information, Inc, 2006)Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELFMF) on the uterus and ovary of rats. Material/Methods: Forty-eight female Wistar albino rats were divided into ... -
Effect of ELF magnetic fields on lipid peroxidation, sperm count, p53, and trace elements
Akdag, M. Zulkuf; Dasdag, Suleyman; Aksen, Feyzan; Isik, Birgul; Yilmaz, Fahri (Int Scientific Literature, Inc, 2006)Background: Some epidemiological and laboratory studies suggest a possible connection between extremely low-frequency (ELF) magnetic fields and certain illnesses, such as cancer, immune suppression, as well as reproductive ... -
The Effect of Long-Term Extremely Low-Frequency Magnetic Field on Geometric and Biomechanical Properties of Rats' Bone
Akdag, M. Zulkuf; Dasdag, Suleyman; Erdal, Nurten; Buyukbayram, Huseyin; Gurgul, Serkan (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2010)Bone is composed of a mineral matrix reinforced by a network of collagen that governs the biomechanical functions of the skeletal system in the body. The purpose of the study was to investigate the possible effect of ... -
Effect of Mobile Phone Exposure on Apoptotic Glial Cells and Status of Oxidative Stress in Rat Brain
Dasdag, Suleyman; Akdag, M. Zulkuf; Ulukaya, Engin; Uzunlar, Ali Kemal; Ocak, Ali Riza (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2009)The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of mobile phone exposure on glial cells in brain. The study carried out on 31 Wistar Albino adult male rats. The rat heads in a carousel exposed to 900MHz microwave. For ... -
Extremely low frequency magnetic fields cause oxidative DNA damage in rats
Yokus, Beran; Akdag, M. Zulkuf; Dasdag, Suleyman; Cakir, Dilek Ulker; Kizil, Murat (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2008)Purpose: To detect the genotoxic effects of extremely low frequency (ELF) -magnetic fields (MF) on oxidative DNA base modifications [8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-Gua), 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyGua) and ... -
Influences of extremely low frequency magnetic fields on mineral and trace elements content of rat teeth
Yavuz, Izzet; Akdag, M. Zulkuf; Dasdag, Suleyman; Ulku, Sabiha Zelal; Akkus, Zeki (Academic Journals, 2008)Exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) emanating from the generation, distribution, and utilization of electricity is widespread. The major debate in recent years has focused on the possibility that ... -
Mobile phone exposure does not induce apoptosis on spermatogenesis in rats
Dasdag, Suleyman; Akdag, M. Zulkuf; Ulukaya, Engin; Uzunlar, Ali Kemal; Yegin, Dilek (Elsevier Science Inc, 2008)Background. Some studies have reported that microwave radiation can have adverse effects on reproduction. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the apoptosis-inducing effect of mobile phone exposure on ... -
Whole-body exposure of radiation emitted from 900 MHz mobile phones does not seem to affect the levels of anti-apoptotic bcl-2 protein
Yilmaz, Fahri; Dasdag, Suleyman; Akdag, M. Zulkuf; Kilinc, Nihal (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2008)The purpose of the present study was to investigate the anti-apoptotic bcl-2 protein in rat brain and testes after whole-body exposure to radiation emitted from 900 MHz cellular phones. Two groups (sham and experimental) ...
