Effects of Long-Term Exposure to L-Band High-Power Microwave on the Brain Function of Male Mice
Authors not listed · 2021
Exposure to L-HPM at 1.5 W/m² can cause generalized injuries in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex of mice, including cell apoptosis, cholinergic dysfunction, and oxidative damage.
Plain English Summary
Forty-eight male ICR mice were exposed to L-HPM at power densities of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 W/m² and brain function was examined at different time periods after exposure. Brain morphology was examined using HE and TUNEL staining, and cholinergic markers, oxidative stress markers, and c-fos expression were evaluated. Exposure to L-HPM at 1.5 W/m² can cause generalized injuries in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex, including cell apoptosis, cholinergic dysfunction, and oxidative damage. The deleterious effects were closely related to power density and exposure time, indicating that long-term and high-power density exposure may be detrimental to the nervous system.
