Study Type		In Vitro
Model		900 MHz (GSM) exposure to cultured glial cells and analysis of protein and surface antigen expression
Details		Primary newborn rat glial cells (~70% astroglial and ~30% microglial) were exposed to 900 MHz (GSM, CW) for 4, 8, or 24 hours at either 3 W/kg (using a mobile phone as an exposure source or 27 and 54 W/kg (using a waveguide as an exposure source). Exposure at either low or high SAR did not result in any changes in Ffap, ED1, IL-6, Tnfa, and other markers. In contrast, heat alone (elevation of temerature by 1 degree C) did result in significant changes. The authors suggest that prior effects reported on similar endpoints may be a result of thermal artifacts.
