Changes in certain protective reactions of an organism under the influence of SW in experimental and industrial conditions

Volkova AP, Fukalova PP · 1974

In laboratory experiments, one group of outbred white rats was exposed to 14.88 MHz short waves at 2,250 V/m for one hour, a second group at 100 V/m for four hours, and a third group served as controls. Workers at a station where field intensities exceeded permissible limits showed two-fold lower phagocytic activity and four-fold higher mouth autoflora, while workers at stations within limits had values within normal ranges.

THE USE OF MICROWAVE HEATING TO INACTIVATE CHOLINESTERASE IN THE RAT BRAIN PRIOR TO ANALYSIS FOR ACETYLCHOLINE

W. B. STAVINOHA, S. T. WEINTRAUB, A. T. MODAK · 1973

Uniform cholinesterase inactivation was achieved in rat brain within 4 s and in mouse brain within 2 s. In rats, whole-brain acetylcholine was 25-4 + 1-5 nmol/g after irradiation compared to 13:8 + 1-7 nmol/g after standard sacrifice. In mice, whole-brain acetylcholine was 25:5 + 2:6 nmol/g after irradiation compared to 13-7 + 1:7 nmol/g after standard sacrifice.

MICROWAVE IRRADIATION SACRIFICE – APPLICATION IN NEUROCHEMICAL RESEARCH

D.E. Schmidt, M.J. Schmidt, G.A. Robison · 1973

Researchers applied microwave irradiation sacrifice to rats and measured brain temperature, enzyme inactivation rates, and levels of acetylcholine and cyclic AMP. Brain temperature reached 70-80°C within 15-20 seconds of microwave exposure. Complete and simultaneous inactivation of cholinesterase, phosphodiesterase, and adenyl cyclase occurred throughout the brain at temperatures of 60-75°C. Acetylcholine levels were higher than literature values, free choline was significantly lower at 28.7 nmoles/mg whole brain, and cyclic AMP levels were comparable to those from rapid freezing.

BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS IN RODENTS EXPOSED TO PULSED ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION

W. D. Skidmore, S. J. Baum · 1973

Erythrocyte counts, radioactive iron incorporation, and leukocyte counts did not differ between groups. Bone marrow cellularity, chromosome aberrations, blood chemistry, fetal development, histology, leukemia, and mammary tumor assays showed no acute effects.

Physiological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields in the ELF Region II. A Review

W. Ludwig, M. A. Persinger, K.-P. Ossenkopp · 1973

Researchers exposed rats prenatally to a 0.5 Hz, 0.5—30 gauss rotating magnetic field and observed behavioral and physiological changes. Prenatally exposed rats showed less ambulatory behavior and greater defecation in an open field test. In a free-operant avoidance task, exposed rats pressed the lever significantly less but received similar numbers of shocks as controls. Exposed rats also had significantly increased relative thyroid and testicle weights, with no changes in blood sugar or eosinophil counts.

SURVIVAL PERIODS OF NORMAL AND HYPOPHYSECTOMIZED RATS EXPOSED TO ACUTE MICROWAVE IRRADIATION

SOME BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF MICROWAVE IRRADIATION IN THE RAT

T. Daryl Hawkins et al. · 1973

In the lethality study, one hundred and seventy-four male Wistar rats were exposed to 3000 MHz microwave radiation, and the lethal energy density (LD50) increased with longer exposure durations. The lethal power density required for a lethal effect decreased as exposure duration increased. At each frequency, higher power levels resulted in shorter times to work stoppage. At all power levels which resulted in a complete cessation of performance, 1700 MHz produced the shortest stoppage times, while both higher and lower frequencies had progressively less influence.

LOW-LEVEL MICROWAVE INTERACTION WITH ISOLATED MAMMALIAN HEARTS

R.G. Olson, C.H. Durney, J.L. Lords, C.C. Johnson · 1973

Researchers used isolated rat hearts back-perfused with oxygenated Ringer's solution and exposed them to microwave radiation in a stripline configuration inside a Faraday shield. Hearts were stabilized for 30 minutes then irradiated for 30 minutes at an absorbed power of 1.5 to 2.5 mW/cm³, which was determined using a liquid crystal optical fiber temperature probe. Exposure caused pronounced bradycardia, with heart rates decreasing 15 to 40 percent below baseline or temporary cessations of 5 to 12 seconds, and the effect reversed within 2 to 8 minutes during continued irradiation.

GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID METABOLISM IN RATS FOLLOWING MICROWAVE EXPOSURE

G. H. Zeman, R. L. Chaput, Z. R. Glaser, L. C. Gershman · 1973

No significant differences in whole brain GABA levels or GAD activity were found between exposed and control rats after any exposure regimen. The authors concluded that altered GABA metabolism is unlikely to be involved in nervous system responses to microwave exposure.

THERMAL REGULATION IN LONG-EVANS RATS EXPOSED TO 2450 MHZ MICROWAVE RADIATION

W.M. Houk, S.M. Michaelson, A. Longacre Jr. · 1973

Researchers measured colonic temperature in 400 unrestrained young male Long-Evans rats exposed to 2450 MHz continuous-wave microwave radiation under constant environmental conditions. The study tested power levels of 9, 18, and 36 mW/cm². At 9 mW/cm² the temperature rise was distinct, maintained throughout the 150-minute exposure, and returned to pre-exposure levels within 30 minutes after exposure, and the rats did not awaken. At 18 mW/cm² the rise was about twice that at 9 mW/cm², similarly sustained, and returned to normal within 30 minutes, with most rats awakening by one hour but resuming rest.
