The role of fatty acids in realization of anti-tumor effects of extremely high-frequency electromagnetic radiation

It was shown for the first time that the exposure of tumor-bearing mice to extremely high-frequency electromagnetic radiation (EHF EMR) with effective parameters (frequency of 42.2 GHz, intensity of 0.1 mW/cm², exposure duration for 20 min daily during 5 consecutive days after inoculation of Ehrlich carcinoma) restores the composition of fatty acids (FA´s) in thymic cells, modified by the tumor growth, to a condition which is typical for intact animals. The EHF EMR exposure also decreased the content of monounsaturated FA´s (MUFA´s) and increased the content of polyunsaturated FA´s (PUFA´s) in the tumor node.
