Abstract :
The purpose of our experiments was to measure the effects of 1800 MHz microwave radiation on membrane anisotropy of a human blood monocitar and trombocitar cell population. Power level of the applied CW microwave radiation was low enough to consider it to be athermal. Experience demonstrates that the natural tendency to decrease of cell membrane anisotropy is favourised by microwave irradiation. This tendency maintains after the ceasing of microwave irradiation
