The maintenance energy balance is relevant for growing organisms since energy is required for optimal functioning of vital functions. We studied the possible effects of chronic exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields emitted by mobile phone base stations on three functions involved in the control of energy balance (sleep, thermoregulation and feeding) in juvenile rats. The results showed no sleep pattern disturbance but the animals were in a state of energy saving.
