title: [The immune and hormonal effects of the local action of microwaves of different intensities].
abstract: The trend in immune and hormonal parameters in thyroid, adrenal and transcerebral exposure to microwaves with intensity of 120, 240 and 480 mW/cm2 was studied in rabbits. The thyroid exposure to 120 and 240 mW/cm2 microwaves lead to immunostimulation, while adrenal and transcerebral one induced immunosuppression. The exposure to 240 mW/cm2 and 480 mW/cm2 microwaves resulted in damage to the tissues in 56 and 100% of the animals, respectively. The latter irradiation appeared lethal for 25% of the rabbits. 120 mW/cm2 MV proved safe as there were no signs of edema and necrosis seen with more intensive microwaves. The authors suggest to employ microwaves of 120 mW/cm2 intensity for endocrine glands irradiation to produce an immunomodulating effect.
