Abstract

The influence of microwave radiation (61 GHz) on Ca(2+) pump of sarcoplasmic reticulum in rat muscle homogenates has been investigated. The microwave field with the surface density power stream of about 4 mW/cm2 has been shown to increase the rate of Ca2+ uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum in heart and skeletal muscle homogenate of rats.
