Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the impact of LTE-Advanced Pro mobile network radiation on the optic nerve of rats, focusing on potential health risks associated with increased mobile phone usage.
  • Thirty-two rats were divided into control (no radiation) and experimental groups (exposed to RF radiation), where the effects on visual evoked potentials, oxidative stress markers, and nerve structure were analyzed over a six-week period.
  • Results showed significant reductions in visual signal strength and structural changes in the optic nerve for the experimental group, indicating potential damage linked to the radiation exposure, which could negatively affect quality of life.

Caffeine is one of the most extensively consumed stimulants in the world and has been suggested to induce wakefulness by antagonizing the function of the adenosine A2A receptor. Therefore, we investigated the effects of chronic caffeine consumption on learning and memory in the REM sleep-deprived rats.Male Wistar rats (n = 50), were randomly assigned into 5 groups: Control (C), Caffeine (Cf), Pedestal Control (PC), Sleep Deprivation (SD), Sleep Deprivation and Caffeine (SD + Cf).

Aims: Rho/Rho-kinase (ROCK) signaling has extensively been shown to take part in mammalian smooth muscle contractions in response to diverse agents yet its role in the contraction of amphibian smooth muscle has not been investigated. Therefore, we aimed to explore any role of this pathway in the contractions of frog stomach smooth.

Main Methods: The strips were prepared and suspended in organ baths filled with Ringer solution.
