title: How does long term exposure to base stations and mobile phones affect human hormone profiles?
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This study is concerned with assessing the role of exposure to radio frequency radiation (RFR) emitted either from mobiles or base stations and its relations with human's hormone profiles.
  
  
  METHODS
  All volunteers' samples were collected for hormonal analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  This study showed significant decrease in volunteers' ACTH, cortisol, thyroid hormones, prolactin for young females, and testosterone levels.
