title: [Study of water exchange in skin tissues by microwave dielectrometry].
abstract: The complex dielectric permitivity of human skin was measured at a frequency of 42 GHz, and a method for calculating water content in skin tissues in vivo was proposed. The water content reaction of skin to standard physical exercises and nontoxic doses of nicotine was investigated. The functionally related changes in skin dielectric properties were interpreted as structural rearrangements of water contained in blood and tissues fluids.
