Change in Level of 5-HT Contained in Peripheral Blood of Workers Exposed to Microwave and High-Frequency Radiation

Abstract

This article will acquaint the reader with the study of relationship between the level of 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine) contained in peripheral blood and the power density of radiation at the work site of the workers who were exposed to microwave and high-frequency radiation. The values obtained were compared with the control group. The symptoms and physical signs of disorder in the central nervous and cardiovascular systems of the exposed workers were also studied. The results showed that the average level of 5-HT contained in the whole blood of the group exposed to high-frequency radiation was lower than the level contained in the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant.
