    This study aimed to determine whether the exposure to radiofrequency emitted by wireless internet providers (2450 MHz) throughout the day during rats’ pregnancy causes a problem in the thyroid tissues of their offspring. The pregnant rats in the experimental group were exposed to radiofrequency radiation (RFR) (24 hours/day) at a 2450 MHz frequency in pulse wave mode with 1 W output strength by a generator simulating Wi-Fi waves. The offspring in the control and experimental groups were randomized selected (n:8). At the end of the sixth month, the thyroid tissues were removed and evaluated histopathologically and biochemically. Mann‒Whitney U-tests and T-tests were used for statistical analysis. The threshold for statistical significance was p <0.05. There was a significant difference in mononuclear cell infiltration (p=0.03) and vascular increase in congestion (p<0.001). There was no difference in the TUNEL-positive cell percentage (p=0.62) and H2A.X antibody levels (p=0.68) between the rats in the control and experimental groups. In this study, 2450 MHz RFR exposure during the prenatal period did not cause a statistically significant difference in terms of H2A.X levels and TUNEL-positive cell percentages in the thyroid tissue of rats.
