Abstract :
The purpose of our paper is to present the effects of 1.8 GHz GSM microwave radiation on membrane anisotropy of a human blood 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 of cell membrane anisotropy decrease is favourised by microwave irradiation. This tendency maintains after the ceasing of microwave irradiation
