The exposure setup has been described in [Dubreuil et al., 2002; Mausset et al., 2001]. Rats were restrained in individual 5-mm thick perforated Plexiglas tubes, 6 cm in diameter and 15 cm long, with an open-ended cone (3 cm long) in which the rat head was inserted. Animals could rotate their heads but its longitudinal position was fixed.
Setup
An RF generator was connected to a four-output divider, allowing simultaneous exposure of four animals. Each output was connected to a loop antenna that was placed against the cone directly above the rat's head for local exposure. A Luxtron optical temperature probe was fixed on the skin of the rat's head below the antenna.
