ID Number		936
Study Type		In Vivo
Model		100 MHz (CW) exposure to rats and analysis of teratogenic and developmental effects
Details		Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to 100 MHz (CW) RF for 4 hours daily beginning on day 6 of gestation through birth, and then through day 97 of age at an average SAR of 2.8 W/kg. Exposure did not affect body weight, startle response, or righting reflex, although the mean age at eye opening was 1 day earlier compared to sham exposed animals. No effect on immune or hematological parameters, germline mutations, or reproductive function. Some transient variations in brain morphology and biochemistry were observed early in the study, but these differences did not persist and may have been due to normal variation.
Findings		No Effects (even at thermal levels)
