研究目的(acc. to author and editor)

To investigate the effects of extremely low frequency amplitude modulated microwaves on the activity of the ornithine decarboxylase enzyme (catalyses the reaction of ornithine into putrescine and CO2) in dependence of so-called coherence time. Coherence time here is used in the meaning of a defined time interval over which frequency, phase, and amplitude of the field can be reasonably predicted.

The modulation signal was periodically switched between 55 and 65 Hz. The operating time for each frequency was selected as a fixed period τ (between 0.1 and 50 s) and a random period Δτ (between 0 and 50 ms).

ばく露装置
ばく露の発生源/構造
チャンバの詳細 A Crawford cell was placed in an incubator chamber maintained at 37°C. The Crawford cell was mounted vertically on a rotary table and provided with an access door to facilitate sample insertion.
ばく露装置の詳細 Two tissue culture flasks (25 cm², 50 ml) were placed end to end on each side of the center conductor parallel to the EF and perpendicular to the direction of propagation. Four control flasks were placed in the same incubator at the same height as the exposed cultures.
Additional information A double stub tuner was used to match the impedance of the loaded Crawford cell. Due to the size of the flasks, the ideal uniform exposure configuration could not be achieved. From 5 to 12 separate experiments were performed for each exposure condition (frequency, and coherence time in random order).

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

The activity of ornithine decarboxylase in cells exposed to unmodulated microwaves was found not to be altered. The enzyme activity was enhanced approximately two-fold in cells exposed to modulated microwaves at all frequencies used but only for coherence times greater than 10 seconds. Up to now the way how amplitude modulated microwaves affect cells still remains unknown.
