Power-frequency electromagnetic fields (PF-EMFs) at 50 Hz are potential health risk factors. This study aimed to explore the effects of long-term exposure to 50-Hz PF-EMFs on general physiological conditions in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. During a 24-week exposure period, the body mass and water and food intake of the animals were recorded regularly. The hematologic parameters were detected every 12 weeks, and blood chemistry analyses were performed every 4 weeks. After sacrifice, morphology was identified by hematoxylin-eosin, Masson, and immunohistochemical staining. Fibrosis-related gene expression and oxidative stress status were also detected. Compared with the control group, exposure to 30, 100, or 500 mu T PF-EMF did not exert any effect on body mass, food intake, or water intake. Similarly, no significant differences were found in hematologic parameters or blood chemistry analyses among these groups. Furthermore, morphological assays showed that exposure to PF-EMFs had no influence on the structure of the liver or kidney. Finally, fibrosis-related gene expression and oxidative stress status were unaltered by PF-EMF exposure. The present study indicates that 24 weeks of exposure to PF-EMFs at intensities of 30, 100, or 500 mu T might not affect hemograms, blood chemistry, fibrosis, or oxidative stress in the liver or kidney in SD rats.
