Abstract

Repeated exposure of guinea pigs to microwave radiation (1 mW/cm2) caused in some animals inhibition of anaphylactic response accompanied by increasing the content of histamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine in the blood. This increase was more pronounced in irradiated guinea pigs died from anaphylactic shock than in nonirradiated animals. The long-term stay in the perturbed and weak geometric field reduced the effect induced by microwave radiation.

Main findings

Repeated microwave exposure (1 mW/cm2) inhibited the anaphylactic response in some guinea pigs and was accompanied by increased blood histamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. The increases were more pronounced in irradiated guinea pigs that died from anaphylactic shock than in nonirradiated animals. Long-term stay in a weak, perturbed geomagnetic field reduced the effect induced by microwave radiation.
