Study Type		In Vitro
Model		2450 MHz (CW) exposure to chick myotubes and analysis of signaling
Details		Chick embryo myotubes were exposed to 2450 MHz RF and recordings of acetylcholine-induced currents obtained via patch-clamp technique. RF exposure at low levels decreased ACh-activated single channel openings, and ACh-induced current showed a faster falling phase. Channel open time and conductance were not affected. The authors conclude that non-thermal levels of RF exposure increases the rate of desensitization and decreases the channel opening probability of ACh-activated channels.
