Experimental Study of Stress Reactions Induced by Low-Intensity Microwave Radiation

A study was made of the severity and dynamics of changes in indicators reflecting the state of the blood system (the number of myelokaryocytes in the femur, the level of CFU-S in the exo and endotest, hemolytic resistance of erythrocytes, as well as the mass and cellularity of the thymus) in mice exposed to monochromatic pulsed electromagnetic fields of the frequency range 2.27–2.78 GHz with an average power flux density of 60 μW/cm2 at doses from 0.086 to 0.86 J/g. It is shown that, under repeated exposure to electromagnetic fields, the bioeffect cumulates, leading to the development of a stress-like adaptive reaction in animals.
