ABSTRACT
Exposure to 50 Hz 2 mT caused dystrophic changes in kidney cortex of maternal and foetal rats. Large degenerated areas, internal bleeding and highly affected glomeruli were detected. Epithelial cells of distal convoluted tubules [ds] were highly sensitive to EMF than proximal convoluted tubules [px].foetuses were more sensitive than maternal ones. Golgi apparatus was more resistant than mitochondria. Altered polysaccharides, protein and collagen were noticed in kidney of exposed pregnant rats and their foetuses
