Peculiar Effects of Electromagnetic Millimeter Waves on Tumor Development in BALB/c Mice
Abstract
Overview of the Study
The research focuses on the influence of millimeter electromagnetic waves on tumor development, utilizing a 130 GHz frequency which coincides with the molecular absorption and radiation spectra of nitric oxide (NO) and oxygen (O2). A total exposure time of 6 hours was observed.
Key Findings
- Electromagnetic exposure in tumor-prone BALB/c mice, both 3 and 6 months old, showed a deceleration in the development of cancerous processes during the observation period.
- Experimental mice showed no macroscopic signs of tumors.
- Pathological reactions were noted in exposed mice, including altered hepatic biochemical indices and liver tissue changes such as dystrophic alterations and microcirculatory disruptions.
Conclusion
The study suggests a complex interaction between electromagnetic millimeter waves and tumor progression, where exposure may delay tumor development but also induce other pathological changes.
