[The action of microwave radiation on potassium ion transport and oxygen consumption in the perfused rat liver].

PAPER pubmed Radiobiologiia 1990 Animal study Effect: no_effect Evidence: Very low

Abstract

Changes induced by the effect of microwave irradiation (2450 MHz, specific absorbed power from 0.1 to 5 W/g, continuous and pulsed-modulated regime) on potassium ion transport and oxygen consumption in the perfused liver do not virtually differ from those induced by heating the perfusate: this is indicative of a "thermal" mechanism of action of microwave radiation.

Main findings

Microwave irradiation (2450 MHz; specific absorbed power 0.1 to 5 W/g; continuous and pulsed-modulated) produced changes in potassium ion transport and oxygen consumption in perfused liver that did not differ from changes induced by heating the perfusate, suggesting a thermal mechanism.

Outcomes measured

  • potassium ion transport
  • oxygen consumption

Limitations

  • Sample size not reported in abstract.
  • Exposure duration not reported in abstract.
  • Details of experimental design and statistical analysis not provided in abstract.
