(experimental study)
Expression of the immediate early gene, c-fos, in fetal brain after whole of gestation exposure of pregnant mice to global system for mobile communication microwaves
med./bio.
The exposure system consisted of a cylindrical parallel plate with mice restrained in clear Perspex tubes arranged radially around the antenna [Balzano et al., 2000; Faraone et al., 2006]. A forced air supply was maintained through the cylinders to prevent heat build-up, and there was no rise in core body temperature.
