This study investigated the effects of exposure of diabetic rats to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) of 900 MHz from cell phone base stations antenna for four weeks on plasma triglycerides and cholesterol. We also examined whether selenium administration into these rats affects the levels of these parameters. Our results showed that the exposure of diabetic rats to this EMR increased the plasma triglycerides, total cholesterol and VLDL-c. The daily intraperitoneally injection of 2.0 mu g selenium/kg body weight as sodium selenite into these rats decreased the triglycerides and VLDL-c levels compared to diabetic rats with EMR exposure. Selenium also restored the normal levels of plasma triglycerides, total cholesterol and HDL-c as compared to control rats. In conclusion, selenium decreased the elevated levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in diabetic rats exposed to EMR from cell phone base stations and hence it may decrease the development of some diabetic complications.
