ID Number		937
Study Type		In Vivo
Model		2450 MHz (CW) exposure to hypothermic mice and analysis of core body heating
Details		Balb/C mice were injected with 5-hydroxytryptamine creatinine sulfate to induce hypothermia and exposed to 2450 MHz (CW) MW for 15 minutes at SARs of 0.7, 3.6, or 7.2 W/kg. The authors calculated from the data that exposure at 1.3 W/kg would increased core temperature equal to that produced by a 1°C ambient temperature increase. In an earlier study, mice were injected with a bacterial endotoxin to induce hypothermia and MW exposure was shown to be as effective in elevating core body temperature as ambient heating.
