Exposure to mobile phone radiation causes deleterious health effects on biological systems. The objects of this study were to investigate the effect of 900-MHz radiofrequency waves (RFW) emitted from base transceiver station antenna on intrapancreatic homocysteine (Hcy), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and nerve growth factor (NGF) as predisposing factors involved in pancreatic beta cell damage. Thirty male rats (Sprague-Dawley, 200 ± 10 g) were randomly divided into the control (without any exposure) and exposed groups: short time (2 h/day), long time (4 h/day), and exposed to 900-MHz RFW for 30 consecutive days. On the last days of the experiment, animals were killed and pancreas tissue was dissected out for evaluation of serotonin, Hcy, TNF-α, and NGF. There was a significant decrease in the serotonin and NGF levels in the pancreatic tissue of exposed groups compared to the control group ( p < 0.05). Also, the levels of serotonin and NGF in the long-time exposure were significantly lower than the short-time exposure ( p < 0.05). However, levels of Hcy and TNF-α were significantly increased in the pancreas of exposed groups compared to the control groups ( p < 0.05). Exposure to 900-MHz RFW decreased pancreatic NGF and serotonin levels and increased the proinflammatory markers (Hcy and TNF-α), which can be a predisposing factor for type 2 diabetes.

DL-beta-Hydroxybutyrate (DL-BOHB) is teratogenic to rodent embryos in culture, but the biochemical mechanism(s) responsible for the induction of malformations has not been elucidated. Thus, to delineate a potential mechanism, the interaction of the ketone body with embryonic glucose metabolism was investigated. Mouse embryos were exposed in whole embryo culture to DL-BOHB or each isomer separately during the period of neurulation. The results demonstrate that DL-BOHB inhibits glucose oxidation by the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) with no concomitant effect on Krebs cycle or glycolysis. Furthermore, decreased rates of embryonic uridine monophosphate and DNA synthesis were produced by DL-BOHB, whereas orotate synthesis was unaffected, thereby suggesting that the availability of ribose moieties synthesized by the PPP was compromised. This hypothesis was supported by the observation that addition of ribose to DL-BOHB-containing medium reduced the incidence of ketone body-induced neural tube defects and maintained the rates of DNA synthesis at control levels. Furthermore, these biochemical alterations are due to the synergistic effects of the D and L isomers and may be related to changes in redox states.
