Ward, T., J. Elder, M. Long, AND D. Svendsgaard. MEASUREMENT OF BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER PERMEATION IN RATS DURING EXPOSURE TO 2450-MHZ MICROWAVES. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/J-81/196 (NTIS PB83231498).

Description:

Adult rats anesthesized with pentobarbital and injected intravenously with a mixture of (C) sucrose and (H) inulin were exposed for 30 min. to an environment at an ambient temperature of 22, 30, or 40 C, or were exposed at 22 C to 2450-MHz CW microwave radiation at power densities of 0, 10, 20, or 30 mW/cm. Following exposure, the brain was perfused and sectioned into eight regions, and the radio-activity in each region was counted. The data were analyzed by two methods.
