Calorimetric measurements of the effect of 330-MHz radiofrequency radiation on human erythrocyte ghosts.
Irreversible changes in the heat capacity of human erythrocyte ghost suspensions due to the effect of 330-MHz radiofrequency radiation (at a specific absorption rate of approximately 9 mW/g) were detected by the method of scanning differential microcalorimetry. Using the data obtained from the analysis of infrared spectra of air-dried films of erythrocyte membranes, it can be postulated that the observed microcalorimetric changes are connected with the local interaction of electromagnetic radiation with the channel-forming portion of band-3 protein.
