" The experiments were conducted with a no commercial high gain pyramidal horn antenna. Sperm samples, taken from sexually mature males of M. galloprovincialis, were placed in seawater. Once evaluated the number and quality of spermatozoa, sperm cells were exposed to electromagnetic fields. ... A significative decrease (30%) in sperm motility was observed after 10 minutes of exposure and after 30 minutes all sperms were immobile and not vital. The measurement of the Oxidation Reduction Potential (sORP), which evaluates the oxidative damage on spermatozoa, shows how the exposure to 27 GHz has increased the oxidant amount compared to the control groups." {Credits 1} {Credits 1} 🎪 Pecoraro, R.; Pavone, S.C.; Scalisi, E.M.; Sica, C.; Ignoto, S.; Contino, M.; Salvaggio, A.; Marmara, D.; Sorbello, G.; Di Donato, L.; Brundo, M.V.
