ID Number		499
Study Type		In Vivo
Model		2450 MHz (CW) exposure to rats and analysis of blood brain barrier permeability
Details		Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to thermal levels of 2450 MHz (CW) microwaves which elevated core body temperature to 40, 42, or 45 degrees. After exposure, animals were injected with horseradish peroxidase. Blood brain barrier integrity was compromised (evidenced by leakage of HRP enzyme) after 10 min at 45 C, 15 min at 42 C, or 60 min at 40 C.
Findings		Effects (only at thermal levels)
Status		Completed With Publication
Principal Investigator		Univ. Miami Sch. Medicine, Miami FL, USA
