ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the effects of CRT (cathode ray tube)-monitor-emitted radiation on the oxidant/antioxidant status in kidney, liver, heart, brain tissues of rats and to observe the histopathological findings of these tissues, and to examine any protective role of vitamin C supplementation.Material and Method: The study carried out on 40 Wistar albino adult female rats. There were 10 animals in each four group (control, vitamin C, computer, and computer plus vitamin C). The computer and computer plus vitamin C groups were exposed to computer monitors while the other groups were not. Vitamin C was administered 250 mg/kg/day orally. In the kidney, liver, heart, and brain tissues, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities were measured spectrophotometrically. In addition, histopathological examination is carried out. Results: In the kidney tissues, MDA levels significantly increased in the computer group compared with the computer plus vitamin C group and the control group (p<0.05). Histomorphologic changes were observed in the kidney and liver tissues of the computer group while there were no alterations in other tissues. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that CRT-monitor-emitted radiation leads to oxidative stress and cellular changes in kidney and liver tissues and the antioxidant supplementation like vitamin C could prevent these possible oxidative effects.
