title: Systemic alteration in blood glucose levels following localized deep microwave hyperthermia.
abstract: Blood glucose levels were temporarily elevated in normal rabbits subjected to one localized microwave hyperthermia treatment in the rectum. A major peak of blood glucose level was observed 8 hours after treatment, and a second minor peak was measured 14-17 hours after treatment. These findings indicate that localized microwave hyperthermia affects the host systemically.
