Abstract

The increasing emission of electromagnetic waves by various devices has increased concerns of possible health effects. Exposure to ultra-high-frequency (UHF) radiation is increasing due to the development of wireless communication technologies. This type of radiation has been linked to changes in organisms through the generation of RS (Oxygen and Nitrogen). The aim of this review was to discuss the effects of ultra-high-frequency electromagnetic radiation (UHF-EMR) on the metabolism of RS and its consequences for mammals. It was discussed the relationship of UHF electromagnetic waves with oxidants and antioxidants in mammals. After reviewing several studies, it is concluded that UHF-EMR can cause changes in biomarkers of oxidative/nitrosative damage and can cause decreases in antioxidant defenses, which may result from these biomarkers’ fight against the oxidative damage to macromolecules induced by ROS/RNS.
