Abstract

Mice were radiated with 2450 MHz, 10 mW/cm2 microwave for 12 days, 1.5 h/day. After microwave radiation, compared with the normal control, the content of calcium and zinc in mice bone were significantly decreased (P < 0.05) copper, iron and manganese decreased, appulsively After Libido, a composed traditional herb medicine, and asshide asafetida were supplied seperatively, the content of calcium and trace element zinc in mice bone increased (P < 0.05). It is concluded that Libido was effective on the resistance of mice to microwave radiation. The toxicity of organotin compounds and the current pollution status.

Main findings

Mice exposed to 2450 MHz microwave radiation (10 mW/cm2) for 12 days had significantly decreased bone calcium and zinc compared with controls (P<0.05); copper, iron, and manganese also decreased. After administration of a composed traditional herb medicine ("Libido") and asafetida separately, bone calcium and zinc increased (P<0.05).

Outcomes measured

Bone tissue element content (calcium, zinc, copper, iron, manganese)

Limitations

Sample size not reported in abstract
Randomization/blinding not described
Exposure metric reported as power density (10 mW/cm2) without SAR
Unclear description/translation issues in abstract (e.g., wording around changes in copper/iron/manganese; unrelated final sentence)
Details of control conditions and timing of post-treatment measurements not provided
