ID Number		1371
Study Type		In Vitro
Model		340-800 MHz (CW) exposure to liposomes and erythrocyte membranes and analysis of membrane effects
Details		In an initial study, liposomes prepared from dimyristoyl lecithin were exposed to RF between 340-800 MHz at SARs of up to 100 W/kg. The authors reported that RF exposure acted in a similar fashion to non-RF heating, although RF required less integral heating than non-RF heat for phase transition. Additional studies looked at erythrocyte membrane ghosts exposed as above. Exposure resulted in decreased lipid viscosity, altered lipid-protein contact regions, and decreased protein shielding in a manner equal to that produced by non-RF heating.
