Abstract

Measuring absorption spectra of conjugated dienes it has been shown that microwave radiation with a frequency of 2.54 GHz induces lipid peroxidation of phosphatidylcholine liposomes. The relationship with the previously observed microwave-enhanced liposome permeability is discussed.

Main findings

Microwave radiation at 2.54 GHz was reported to induce lipid peroxidation in phosphatidylcholine liposomes, assessed via absorption spectra of conjugated dienes. The abstract notes a discussion of how this relates to previously observed microwave-enhanced liposome permeability.

Outcomes measured

  • lipid peroxidation
  • conjugated diene absorption spectra
  • liposome permeability (discussed)

Limitations

  • No exposure duration reported in abstract
  • No SAR or power density reported in abstract
  • In vitro liposome model; relevance to humans not addressed in abstract
  • Sample size and experimental details not provided in abstract
