ID Number		1295
Study Type		In Vivo
Model		2450 MHz (AM) exposure to mice and analysis of teratogenicity, survival, and behavioral effects
Details		C3H-HeJ pregnant mice were exposed to 2450-MHz (AM) at a single intense dose of 38 W/kg for 600 seconds in a multi-mode cavity +/- 5 mg cortisone injection (as a teratological marker) on the 11th, 12th, 13th or 14th day of gestation. On the 19th gestational day fetuses were examined for gross structural abnormalities. RF exposure alone to pregnant dams did not increase fetal mortality or morbidity, and in combination with cortisone injection, the cortisone-induced mortality was reduced. No long term effects of RF exposure were observed in maze performance
Findings		No Effects (even at thermal levels)
Status		Completed With Publication
