| Chamber | The environmental exposure chamber (61 x 76 x 76 cm) made of foamed polystyrene was placed inside an aluminium-shielded anechoic chamber (3 x 3 x 4.5 m) lined with MW-absorbing material. |
| Setup | Mitochondrial suspension (2 ml) in a covered clear polystyrene 35-mm Petri dish (10 mm depth) was placed in the chamber at 0°C on a foamed polystyrene stand supporting a 9-cm plastic disk suspending the sample 14 cm above the base with cooling air flowing around it. |
| Additional info | Every 30 min, an aliquot of the sample was removed, and oxygen uptake was measured. The same was done for a control sample kept in a test tube in ice. |

The microwave exposure had no effects on mitochondrial oxygen consumption. Also the mitochondrial response to calcium was not altered by microwave exposure.
