Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of repeated exposure (5 times for 15 min) of 1800 MHz radio-frequency radiation (RFR) on N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit NR1 (NMDA-NR1) expression in the brains of rats in a persistent inflammatory state. We also measured the effect of RFR combined with tramadol (TRAM) to determine the potential antioxidant capacity of this agent.
