To investigate the effects of electromagnetic pulsed field exposure to rabbits.
Parameters studied were pentobarbital-induced sleeping time, rectal temperature measured immediatly pre- and post-exposure and several serum parameters (among other things triglycerides, creatine kinase isoenzymes, sodium, and potassium).
Experiment 1
Frequency | 23.5 MHz |
---|---|
Exposure duration | continuous up to 2 h |
Modulation type | pulsed |
---|---|
Pulse width | 400 ns |
Rise time | 100 ns |
Repetition frequency | 10 Hz |
Exposure source |

---|---|
Chamber | EMP stimulator |
Setup | Four styrofoam panels were placed between the plates to restrict the animals to the central region of the exposure chamber. Animals were placed in the center of the chamber on a plexiglas sheet |
Additional info | The sheets were configured in such a way that the horizontal section used to expose animals had dimensions of 56 cm x 61 cm and a plate seperation of 19 cm, where as the remaineder of the plates section 58 x 61, the gap was narrowed to 6.4 mm and filled with polyethylene to provide capacitance. The EMP stimulator was located in a faraday cage. |
No parameters are specified for this exposure.
No consistent, statistically significant alterations were found in the endpoints investigated under the exposure conditions used.
