    abstract = {Recently, there has been a few information on the effects of mobile phone-exposed on reproduction. The aim of this study to determine the effects of antioxidants namely EGCG and NAC on the serum testosteron levels in the cell phone-exposed  guinea pigs. Three-months-old male Guinea pigs were randomized into 6 groups; sham group,  not exposed to  mobile phone, NAC administration group (300 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP> i.p. during 7 days), 20 min mobile phone-exposed group with NAC administration, 20 min mobile phone-exposed group, EGCG administration group (25 mg kg<SUP>-1</SUP> i.p. during 7 days) and 20 min mobile phone-exposed group with EGCG administration. During the exposure of every guinea pig, external E fields were measured by NARDA EMR 300 and type 8.3 probe. Guinea pigs were exposed to RFR averaged as 11.2&plusmn;0.5 V m<SUP>-1</SUP> for 20 min a day during 7 days. Serum testosterone levels were analysed by ELISA. The serum testosterone levels were found insignificantly increased in mobile phone-exposed group compared to the control and the other groups (p&gt;0.05). Likewise, the serum testosterone levels were not found significantly different in the N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (NAC) and Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) administrated groups compared to the sham group.}
