All microwave irradiation protocols (2,450 MHz at 5, 10, or 15 mW/cm2; described as athermal or subthermal) significantly accelerated development of benzopyrene-induced skin cancer and shortened lifespan of tumor-bearing mice versus sham-irradiated controls. Effects appeared dose-dependent, with 15 mW/cm2 and longer (3-month) preirradiation more effective than 5 mW/cm2 and shorter preirradiations. Long-lasting low-level microwave exposure was associated with suppressed delayed hypersensitivity (DNFB reactivity) in benzopyrene-treated mice.

Male CBA/J mice injected with Salmonella typhimurium LPS and then exposed to 2450 MHz continuous-wave microwaves showed a significant decrease in the LPS dose required to kill 50% of the mice at 20 and 30 mW/cm2 (2-hour exposure), compared with sham-irradiated controls. Microwave irradiation prior to LPS injection did not affect LPS lethality. High ambient temperature (37°C) also potentiated endotoxin lethality.

In experiments on 478 white rats, repeated exposure to low doses of nonionizing microwave radiation was reported to alter structural and functional bases regulating cell metabolism and to exert a damaging action on delicate cell structures, with changes described as conformational changes in chemical substances and redistribution of energy-formation pathways with compensatory protein synthesis and increased enzymatic systems. The authors also report increased resistance to hypoxia and to higher-intensity microwave exposure.

In mice, the ambient-temperature threshold for increasing evaporative water loss was between 30 and 33°C. During 90-min 2450-MHz exposure, an SAR in excess of 29 W/kg was required to increase heat loss; for SAR 29–44 W/kg, about 65% of absorbed heat was dissipated by evaporation and the remainder passively. An exponential scaling relationship was used to suggest that 29 W/kg in a 0.033-kg mouse corresponds to approximately 0.25 W/kg in a 70-kg human.

The review covers RF (300 kHz–300 MHz) and microwave (300 MHz–300 GHz) exposures. Animal investigations are described as showing pathophysiological manifestations at certain power densities over minutes to hours, with effects variably associated with measurable temperature rise and potentially reversible or irreversible depending on conditions. At lower power densities, evidence for pathological or physiological alteration is described as non-existent or equivocal; US retrospective human studies are described as not showing altered morbidity or mortality related to MW/RF exposure, while CNS and cardiovascular reactions are reported mostly in Eastern European publications with substantial difficulty excluding other factors.

Theoretical modeling showed that DNA in aqueous solution can directly absorb microwave energy via coupling to longitudinal acoustic vibration modes, with water damping broadening but not reducing total absorption. This supports experimental observations of anomalous microwave absorption in DNA solutions.

Male CBA/J mice exposed to 2,450-MHz microwaves at ambient 30C received heat loads of 08 Jd7g^-1 at SARs of 47 or 93 Wd7kg^-1 while EHL was monitored. The threshold heat load for increased EHL was 10.5 Jd7g^-1 at 47 Wd7kg^-1 and 5.2 Jd7g^-1 at 93 Wd7kg^-1; above threshold, regression slopes were 1.15 (low SAR) and 0.929 (high SAR). In separate experiments, deep body temperature rose at 0.026 b0Cd7s^-1 (47 Wd7kg^-1) and 0.049 b0Cd7s^-1 (93 Wd7kg^-1), suggesting EHL sensitivity is proportional to heat absorption/heating rate.

SAR values between 3.1 and 6.7 mW/g were reported for 425 MHz exposure. No differences in weight were observed between irradiated and sham-irradiated rats, and no consistent changes were seen in peripheral blood counts. Significant increases in mitogen-stimulated lymph-node (but not blood) lymphocyte responses were observed in two of four experiments; a separate prenatal-only exposure experiment also reported increased lymph-node response to T-cell mitogens at 42 days of age.
