ID Number		869
Study Type		In Vivo
Model		2.7 GHz (PW) exposure to rats and analysis of immune function
Details		Wistar rats (n=20) were exposed to 2736.5 MHz (PW - modulated at 395 Hz, 2.6 usec pulse width) for 4 hr/day, 5 days/wk for 7 weeks at 24.4 mW/cm2. A core temperature rise of 0.3 - 0.5 degrees was recorded after the first 3 hrs of each exposure session. Exposure resulted in a transient decreased in body weight gain and a decreased hematocrit level. A decrease in leukocyte count was also observed in exposed animals due to the decrease of the absolute number of lymphocytes after exposure week 5 that persisted 10 weeks after exposure. A minor decrease in neutrophil count was observed in exposed animals during the last week of exposure.
