Study Type		In Vivo
Model		1.44 GHz (PDC - TDMA) exposure to rats and analysis of blood brain barrier permeability
Details		Sprague Dawley rats were restrained in a carousel-type apparatus (8 rats/carousel) and exposed to 1.44 GHz (PDC) RF at an average brain SAR of 1, 2 or 7.4 W/kg (whole body average of 0.25 W/kg = 2 W/kg brain peak). Exposure at 1 W/kg was for 1 hour/day for 2 or 4 weeks, and exposure at 7.4 W/kg was once for 4 hours. Blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability was determined using Evans blue dye injection as well as albumin immunochemistry. No changes in BBB were observed in any of the exposure groups. Further, no changes in body weight or brain morphology (by histopathological examination) were detected.
