Study Type		In Vivo
Model		SHF (between 3 - 30 GHz, AM at 16 Hz) exposure to rats and rabbits and analysis of apomorphine-induced rotation behavior
Details		Rats were exposed to SHF (between 3 - 30 GHz, AM at 16 Hz) for 1 hour at a power density of 8 mW/cm2 and analyzed for rotation behavior induced by apomorphine. Exposure inhibbited apomorphine-induced rotation by 21%. Daily one-hour exposures for 5 consecutive days caused a more pronounced inhibition of apomorphine induced rotation. The authors report significant variability between individual rats. In a similar study in rabbits exposed as above, RF exposure did not decrease apomorphine-induced rotation in most animals (although the authors report that in 10% of test rabbits exposed there was a significant decrease in apomorphine-induced rotation with RF exposure. The authors again suggest different individual sensitivity of animals employed in the study.
