Abstract :Aim: The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of electromagnetic fields originating from high voltage lines on serum malondialdehyde level of male rats wistar albino. Materials and Methods: A total of 32 rats were randomly assigned to study in 4 groups. Groups were; Group 1: high voltage, Group 2: high voltage + ganoderma l., Group 3: high voltage + melatonin, Group 4: control. Experimental groups were exposed to high voltage for 8 hours daily for 52 days. The electric field and the magnetic field were measured. Ganoderma was administered 20 mg/kg/day as a gavage and melatonin intraperitoneally as 10 mg/kg/day. Results: In the study, the malondialdehyde insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MDA); levels of the experimental and control groups were compared. There was no significant difference between the groups. According to the control group, it was found that the MDA level of the high voltage group increased, while the Ganoderma and Melatonin groups had a small decrease at the MDA level. Conclusion: These results show that electromagnetic fields originating from high tension increase the MDA serum level, which is found to decrease in the presence of ganoderma and melatonin.
