Forty dams were exposed to 2450 MHz microwaves at 31 mW/g or 17 mW/g for 20 minutes on gestational days 8, 10, 12, or 14, while eight received sham exposures and eight served as cage controls. In the 31 mW/g group, 30% of implantations were resorbed and 17% of fetuses had abnormalities, compared to lower rates in other groups. Fetal body mass decreased at 31 mW/g, and fetal brain mass was affected by treatment condition and gestational day.

Handling alone lowered pregnancy rate from 86 percent to 72 percent during days 1-6, with further drops to 65 percent at 21 mW/cm2 and 50 percent at 30 mW/cm2, while heated controls showed no extra decrease. Congenital malformations increased significantly only at 30 mW/cm2 during days 6-15, rising from 1.7 percent to 3.1 percent, with two-thirds being cleft palate.
