Mechanisms of Microwave Neural Interaction.

Abstract

Examination of the binding characteristics of acetylcholine receptor (AchR) and either tritium labeled acetylcholine ((3H)-Ach) or calcium 45 (45Ca) via a modified Hill plot revealed a decrease in synergistic binding for both acetylcholine (Ach) and calcium (Ca++) in low concentrations. This decrease was observed at a SAR of 1.5 - 2.5 mW/g (1 mW/g = 1 W/Kg), 960 MHz CW, or 16 Hz square wave modulated (P < 0.01 in both cases). Cooperative binding of Ca++ was not changed at physiological concentrations (P > 0.25). Experiments performed at 5 C could not be distinguished from those at 4 C. (Author)
