L-Type Calcium Channel Blocker Effects on Electromagnetic Field Exposed Lung Histology

Abstract

Electromagnetic field is produced by electrically charged objects and is defined as the combination of both electric field and a magnetic field. Wireless (wifi) networks, cell phones, bluetooth devices, power lines are some of the examples which emit electromagnetic field. Calcium channel blockers are a group of medicine used to lower blood pressure. They stop calcium from entering the cells of the heart and arteries. Our aim is to observe the possible histopathologic events of lungs from rats which was given a calcium blocker, amlodipine, meanwhile received a prolong electromagnetic field. To grade the lung histopathology, we stained the slides with hematoxylin and eosin and examined them under a camera attached light microscope. © 2024 Ondokuz Mayis Universitesi. All rights reserved.
