[Effect of nonionizing microwave radiation on autoimmune reactions and antigenic structure of serum proteins].

Immunochemical analysis of blood serum protein fractions reported destabilization of humoral immune system factors at 500 W/cm2, manifested by formation of a new protein with physico-chemical properties of immunoglobulin G. The authors discuss the possibility…

Effects of microwave radiation (340 and 900 MHz) on different structural levels of erythrocyte membranes.

During irradiation, 340-MHz microwaves (SAR 100 W/kg) decreased lipid viscosity, altered the structural state of lipid-protein contact regions, and decreased protein shielding of lipids in erythrocyte membranes. Similar changes were observed during 900-MHz ir…

Erythrocyte hemolysis by radiofrequency fields.

In vitro, erythrocytes in whole heparinized rabbit blood showed a field-strength-dependent hemolytic effect after 2 h continuous-wave RF exposure. Hemolysis occurred at 50 or 100 MHz at field strengths >4 V/cm, and at 10 MHz at 9 V/cm, with sample temperature…

Effects of 2.45 GHz microwaves on meiotic chromosomes of male CBA/CAY mice.

Male mice exposed to continuous 2.45 GHz microwaves showed chain translocations at diakinesis/metaphase I; translocation yield increased with exposure and varied nonlinearly with dose rate. Increased incidence of univalents was reported after exposure at 10 a…

Extracellular calcium and microwave enhancement of membrane conductance in snail neurons.

Microwave irradiation (2450 MHz, 30 min, SAR 13 mW/g) decreased membrane resistance (increased membrane conductance) in snail neurons. Lowering extracellular Ca2+ (7 mM to 0.7 mM) or blocking calcium channels with Cd2+ (0.9 mM) did not change the microwave-in…

[Effect of discontinuous short-wave electromagnetic field irradiation on the state of the endocrine glands].

Interrupted short-wave EMF exposure at 500 and 250 V/m was associated with activation of hypothalamic neurosecretion, inhibition of adrenocorticotropic and gonadotropic functions of the hypophysis and adrenal cortex, and degenerative/dystrophic changes in tes…

Biological effects of high-frequency electromagnetic fields on Salmonella typhimurium and Drosophila melanogaster.

Across the bacterial Ames assays and a Drosophila somatic mutation test, microwave or radiofrequency field exposures did not induce an elevated mutation frequency. A significantly higher concentration of cells was observed in bacterial cultures exposed to a 2…

Teratogenic, biochemical, and histological studies with mice prenatally exposed to 2.45-GHz microwave radiation.

Microwave exposure (2.45 GHz; incident power density 30 mW/cm2; local SAR near uterine area 40.2 mW/g) increased embryo lethality when exposure occurred during early gestation (Days 1–6). Fetal toxicity and teratogenicity were not significantly increased for …

[The effect of ultrahigh frequency electromagnetic fields on the reduction of ferricyanide by human erythrocytes in the presence of methylene blue].

Microwave radiation (1000 ± 10 MHz) increased the ferricyanide reduction rate only at temperature ranges corresponding to two "anomalous" regions in the temperature dependence (26–27°C and 29–30°C). The breadth and expression of these anomalous regions increa…

Evidence for microwave carcinogenesis in vitro.

At low incident power density (energy absorption rate 4.4 W/kg) and controlled temperature (37.2±0.1°C), 2.45 GHz microwave radiation reduced plating efficiency by 50%. Microwave exposure had no effect on transformation induced by benzo[a]pyrene or X-rays in …

Blood-brain barrier permeation in the rat during exposure to low-power 1.7-GHz microwave radiation.

Adult rats exposed for 30 min to 1.7-GHz continuous-wave or pulsed microwaves at 0.1 W/kg showed no change in uptake of either tracer in any measured brain region compared with sham-exposed animals.

Safety of 9.3-GHz microwave radiant heating for possible caloric supplement and medical treatment.

In rhesus monkeys chronically exposed to 9.3 GHz microwave radiation at average incident power densities of 150 or 300 mW/cm2, only inconsistent transient hematological and blood-chemistry effects were reported. The abstract states a lack of significant hemat…

Low-power 2.45-GHz microwave radiation affects neither the vacuolar potential nor the low frequency excess noise in single cells of characean algae.

Single cells of Chara braunii and Nitella flexilis were irradiated with 2.45-GHz microwaves for short, intermediate, and long durations. No reliable radiation-correlated shifts were observed in vacuolar potential (dc level), low-frequency excess noise, or mem…

Comments on Frey's "Data analysis reveals significant microwave-induced eye damage in humans".

The authors re-examined Frey’s critique/analysis of two prior studies and report that log-linear tests of opacity data indicated subject age was significantly associated with opacities, whereas microwave radiation was not significantly associated (contrary to…

Microwave radiation absorption in the rat: frequency-dependent SAR distribution in body and tail.

Using twin-well calorimetry, whole-body averaged SAR in rat carcasses exposed to 360, 700, 915, and 2,450 MHz CW radiation showed a nonmonotonic frequency dependence with 700 MHz identified as a resonant frequency. Local SAR measured with a fiber optical temp…

A model of the electric field of the brain at EEG and microwave frequencies.

A dipole layer model is used to calculate the current dipole moment of the cortical extracellular electric field and is extended to microwave frequencies. The paper presents arguments for possible microwave radiation emission by dendritic membranes of pyramid…
