The influence of low-intensity electromagnetic radiation on the development of bovine embryos in vitro

Abstract

In view of practical significance of modern electronics, the study of the impact of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) on biological systems is relevant. Electromagnetic waves influence on reproductive function, affecting gametes, embryo and fetus development. However, there is still much that needs to be learned about this topic. Not all mechanisms of EMR influence on reproductive cells and tissues are known. As part of this study, an analysis of the effect of low-intensity technogenic electromagnetic exposure on bovine embryos was carried out. The goal was to identify the possible effect of EMR on cells and embryos undergoing gene editing in vitro. The results of this study did not show a significant decrease in the level of blastocyst formation in all experimental groups of embryos. The obtained data can serve as a scientific basis for assessing the impact of non-ionizing radiation as a technogenic factor on the reproduction of agricultural livestock.
