Dataset on significant role of Candesartan on cognitive functions in rats having memory impairment induced by electromagnetic waves.

ABSTRACT: Rapid growing of mobile phones users has raised about the possible effects of these electromagnetic waves (EMW) on human health. Many studies have examined the role of these EMW on biological systems, but the results are still contradictory and controversial. In addition to EMW, over-activation of angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) has been associated with cognitive decline, incidence and progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Candesartan, an AT1R blocker, is well recognized for treatment of hypertension. However, its role on cognitive functions such as spatial and recognition memory remains elusive. Thus, young rats were divided into 3 groups: control, exposed to radiofrequency electromagnetic waves (EMW), and exposed to EMW during Candesartan treatment (EMW+Cand). Spatial memory perf
