Objectives: Mobile phones are low power radio devices, transmit and receive radio frequency radiation at 900-2200 MHz. Th e recent reports claim that the number of mobile phone subscribers worldwide has surpassed four billion milestones. Th e extensive use of mobile phones has been accompanied by public debate about possible adverse eff ects on human health. Th erefore, the aim was to study the eff ects of mobile phone radiation exposure on fasting blood glucose level in albino rats. Methods: Forty male albino Wistar rats were assigned into fi ve groups containing 8 rats each. First group was control, second group received a dose for 15 minutes daily, third group 30 minutes, fourth group 45 minutes and fi ft h group 60 minutes daily dose of mobile phone radiation for the period of three months. Blood glucose was determined by Elisa. Results: Albino rats, with mobile phone radiation longer than 30 minutes, for the period of three months, showed a signifi cant increased in fasting blood glucose level relative to their control group. Conclusion: Fasting blood glucose in albino rats was increased and stratifi cation of results shows a dose-eff ect of duration of exposure of mobile phone radiation on fasting blood glucose. It is suggested that long term and / or excessive use of mobile phones should be avoided by health promotion activities such as group discussions, public presentations and through electronic and print media sources.
