Abstract

The influence of microwave radiation (61 GHz) on Ca(2+) pump of sarcoplasmic reticulum in rat muscle homogenates has been investigated. The microwave field with the surface density power stream of about 4 mW/cm2 has been shown to increase the rate of Ca2+ uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum in heart and skeletal muscle homogenate of rats.

Main findings

Microwave radiation at 61 GHz with a surface power density of about 4 mW/cm2 increased the rate of Ca2+ uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum in rat heart and skeletal muscle homogenates.

Outcomes measured

  • Rate of Ca2+ uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum (Ca2+ pump activity)

Limitations

  • Study appears to be in rat tissue homogenates rather than in vivo outcomes
  • Sample size not reported in abstract
