Abstract

Purpose

Environment and lifestyle factors is being attributed towards increased instances of male infertility. Rapid technological advancement, results in emission of electromagnetic radiations of different frequency which impacts human both biologically as well as genetically. Devices like cell phone, power line and monitors emit electromagnetic radiation and are a major source of the exposure. Numerous studies describe the detrimental consequence of radiation on physiological parameters of male reproductive system including sperm parameters (morphology, motility, and viability), metabolism and genomic instability. While the thermal and non-thermal interaction of nonionizing radiations with biological tissues can’t be ruled out, most studies emphasize the generation of reactive oxygen species. Oxidative stress alters redox equilibrium and disrupts morphology and normal functioning of sperms along with declination of total anti-oxidant capacity.

Conclusion

In this paper, we describe a detailed literature review with the intent of analyzing the impact of electromagnetic radiation and understand the consequence on male reproductive system. The underlying mechanism suggesting ROS generation and pathway of action has also been discussed. Additionally, the safety measures while using electronic gadgets and mobile phones has also been presented.

非电离性电磁辐射对男性不育的影响：对机制和后果的评估

摘要

目的

环境和生活方式因素被归因于男性不育症的增加。快速的技术进步导致发射不同频率的电磁辐射，这些电磁辐射在生物学和遗传上都对人类产生影响。手机，电源线和显示器等设备会发出电磁辐射，是电磁辐射的主要来源。大量研究描述了辐射对男性生殖系统生理参数（包括精子参数（形态，运动性和生存力），代谢和基因组不稳定）的有害影响。尽管不能排除非电离辐射与生物组织的热和非热相互作用，但大多数研究都强调了活性氧的产生。

结论

在本文中，我们描述了详细的文献综述，旨在分析电磁辐射的影响并了解其对男性生殖系统的影响。暗示了ROS产生和作用途径的潜在机制也已被讨论。此外，还提出了使用电子产品和移动电话时的安全措施。
