[Effects of microwave radiation on lipid peroxidation and the content of neurotransmitters in mice].
Male LACA mice were exposed to 900 MHz microwaves at the power densities of 0,1,2 and 5 mW/cm2. The resulting specific absorption rates(SARs) were 0, 0.22, 0.44 and 1.10 W/kg respectively. Animals were exposed at the dosage of 1 hour a day for 35 days. The results showed that the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) increased and the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) decreased in blood, and the concentration of noradrenaline (NE) increased in brains in the microwave exposed groups at 1 mW/cm2 compared with the sham-exposed group. But no significant changes were found in the microwave exposed groups at 2 and 5 mW/cm2. No significant changes of the concentrations of 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT), 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid(5-HIAA) and dopamie(DA) in brains were found.
