General information:
animals were divided into five groups:
i) cage control
ii)sham control
iii) exposure to EMF
iv) exposure to EMF + selenium
v) exposure to EMF + L-carnitine

Exposure 1:
Main characteristics
frequency:2.45 GHz
type of field: electromagnetic field
Modulation
type of modulation: pulsed (PW)
pulse repetition rate:217 Hz
Exposure setup
exposure source/structure: half-wave antenna
exposure time pattern: continuous for 60 min/day, for 28 days
setup details: rats kept in 15 cm long cylindrical constrainers with a diameter of 5 cm so that the rats' noses were in close contact with the antenna; exposure system positioned inside a faraday cage
sham: sham exposure was performed
