Abstract

The purpose of our experiments was to measure the effects of 1800 MHz microwave radiation on membrane anisotropy of a human blood monocitar and trombocitar cell population. Power level of the applied CW microwave radiation was low enough to consider it to be athermal. Experience demonstrates that the natural tendency to decrease of cell membrane anisotropy is favourised by microwave irradiation. This tendency maintains after the ceasing of microwave irradiation.

Main findings

In experiments exposing human blood monocyte and thrombocyte cell populations to 1800 MHz continuous-wave microwave radiation at a power level described as low enough to be considered athermal, microwave irradiation was reported to favor a decrease in cell membrane anisotropy. The tendency to decreased anisotropy reportedly persisted after cessation of irradiation.
