AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how exposure to 900 MHz microwave electromagnetic fields affects GABA receptor expression in the brain cells of postnatal rats.
- Researchers exposed neurons to these microwaves for two hours daily over six days and also for a single 12-hour period.
- Results showed significant alterations in GABA receptor expression in the exposed neurons, indicating that these microwaves can notably regulate neurotransmitter levels.
Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of 900 MHz microwave electromagnetic fields (EMF) on the expression of neurotransmitter GABA receptor of cerebral cortical neurons in postnatal rats.
Methods: Neurons were exposed to 900 MHz continuous microwave EMF (SAR = 1.15 - 3.22mW/g) for 2 hours per day in 6 consecutive days and for 12 hours at one time. GABA receptor was chosen to be the biological end.
Results: Significant changes had been observed in exposed neurons in the expression of GABA receptor. (P < 0.01) .
Conclusion: The expression of GABA receptor of neurons were significantly regulated by 900 MHz microwave, and a power "window" effect was observed in the exposed neurons.
