Abstract :
It is well-known that biological objects are responsive to low-intensity microwave irradiation. We studied the existence of biological response on a cellular level. It is obvious that the membrane is a critical cell structure for microwave influence. We compared ion flux density through the membrane for irradiated and nonirradiated erythrocytes, using human blood erythrocytes cleansed in a physiological solution.
