Effect of millimeter wave radiation on catalase activity.
Logani MK, Agelan A, Ziskin MC. · 2002
View Original AbstractMillimeter wave radiation at 42.2 GHz showed no effect on protective enzymes, even at power levels 300 times higher than cell phone limits.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed mice to high-intensity millimeter wave radiation at 42.2 GHz to test whether it could protect an enzyme called catalase from damage caused by chemotherapy drugs. The radiation, delivered at power levels about 1,000 times higher than typical cell phone exposure, showed no protective effect on the enzyme. This suggests that millimeter waves at these frequencies don't provide the cellular protection some researchers had hoped to find.
Study Details
In order to understand the mechanisms involved in this reduction, the effect of millimeter electromagnetic waves (MWs) on catalase activity was examined in mouse blood
SKH-1 hairless mice were irradiated on their midbacks with 42.2±0.2 GHz millimeter waves. The incide...
The sham control groups were treated in a similar manner, but not irradiated. MW irradiation, before...
