Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of low intensity microwave electromagnetic fields (EMF) on energy metabolism of cerebral cortical neurons of postnatal rats. Methods The cultured neurons were exposed to low intensity 900 MHz continuous microwave EMF (SAR=0.38-3.22 mW/g) 2 hours a day for 4 to 6 consecutive days. The activity of cytochrome oxidase(CCO) was taken as the index for energy metabolism level. Results The results of cytochemistry showed that compared to the sham-exposed, a significant decrease of cytochrome oxidase activity in exposed neurons(0.38-3.22 mW/g P
