; ; ; ;
Two hundred adult male white rates (Sprague-Dawley) with chronically implanted aortic cannulas were randomly divided into two groups. Animals in the first group were exposed to low-level (1.0mW/sq cm) pulsed-wave 435-MHz radiofrequency radiation (RFR) for about 22 h daily, 7 days each week for 6 months. Animals in the second group were maintained under identical conditions but were not irradiated. The aortic cannulas were used to draw microsamples (0.6 mL) of aortic blood from the unrestrained, unanesthetized rats on a cyclic schedule. Plasma catecholamine (nonrepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine) concentrations were determined by radioimmunoassays. Statistical analysis of the results did not indicate increased plasma catecholamine concentrations on radiation-exposed animals when compared to sham-exposed animals. Exposure to this nonionizing radiofrequency (RF) environment did not induce stresses that were manifested as an alteration in plasma hormones.
