Abstract
Adult Tenebrio molitor L. were exposed to 39-MHz radiofrequency (RF) electric fields and examined to determine cytopathological changes in ovarian and testicular tissues. Disintegration of trophocytes and primary oocytes followed by vacuole formation in the germarium and germinal vesicle characterized the effects in ovarian tissue. Condensation of the chromatin material in the follicular epithelial cells was also evident. In testicular tissues, RF treatment caused disintegration of the cyst membranes and spermatocytes and clumping of spermatid nuclei. Mature spermatozoa were not observed in the lumina of the vasa efferentia.
