Abstract This investigation was designed
to explore the effects of microwaves on the adenosine triphosphate
levels of liver hepatocytes. Chinese hamster
littermates were irradiated with 2450 MHz microwave radiation at a power
density of 50 mW/cm² for 30 minutes to 4.5 hours over a period of 1 to 21
days. The animals were sacrificed immediately after the last exposure.
Adenosine triphosphate levels per gram weight of
tissue were measured by using luciferin firefly
extract. It was found that, under these conditions, there was no significant
difference between control and experimental animals, when littermates were
used in each of the above groups. |
