Exposure details   Effects of radiofrequency radiation exposure on blood-brain barrier permeability in male and female rats. by Sirav B, Seyhan N published in: Electromagn Biol Med 2011; 30 (4): 253 - 260 Please enter your e-mail address (voluntary) General information: The animals were treated in the following six groups: i) female sham exposure ii) male sham exposure iii) female exposure to 0.9 GHz iv) male exposure to 0.9 GHz v) female exposure to 1.8 GHz vi) male exposure to 1.8 GHz Exposure 1: Main characteristics frequency: 0.9 GHz type of field: electromagnetic field Modulation type of modulation: continuous wave (CW) Exposure setup exposure source/structure: horn antenna distance between exposed object and exposure source: 10 cm exposure time pattern: continuous for 20 min setup details: rats were anesthetized during exposure; rats exposed individually with their body parallel to the E-field component of the RF-field sham: sham exposure was performed Exposure parameters parameter: value: type: method: averaging mass: remark: electric field strength  4.71 V/m  -  -  -  ± 0.02 V/m  SAR  4.26 mW/kg  average over mass  calculated  10 g  brain tissue  additional information: background field for sham exposure: E = 0.29 V/m ± 0.08 V/m Exposure 2: Main characteristics frequency: 1.8 GHz type of field: electromagnetic field Modulation type of modulation: continuous wave (CW) Exposure setup exposure source/structure: same setup as in Exposure 1 distance between exposed object and exposure source: 10 cm exposure time pattern: continuous for 20 min sham: sham exposure was performed Exposure parameters parameter: value: type: method: averaging mass: remark: electric field strength  4.92 V/m  -  -  -  ± 0.12 V/m  SAR  1.46 mW/kg  average over mass  calculated  10 g  brain tissue  additional information: background field for sham exposure: E = 0.29 V/m ± 0.08 V/m Comment on field/s (up to 2000 characters): Return to general data Glossary: animals, brain, CW, electric field strength, electromagnetic field, exposed, exposure, GHz, horn antenna, rats, RF, SAR, sham exposure, tissue
