Effect of Amplitude-Modulated 147 MHz Radiofrequency Radiation on Calcium Ion Efflux from Avian Brain Tissue

Abstract

Cerebral cortex tissue slices and cerebral hemispheres prepared from Gallus domesticus chicks were exposed to 147 MHz radiofrequency radiation, amplitude modulated at 16 Hz and applied at a power density of 0.75 mW/cm2, to determine the effect of such exposure of 45Ca2+ efflux from the avian brain tissue. Statistical analysis of these data demonstrates that such exposure has no significant effect on 45Ca2+ efflux.
