In
questo studio pubblicato (nel 2010) dal Prof. Grigoriev e
collaboratori, vengono replicati i dati ottenuti da studi precedenti
condotti tra il 1974 ed il 1991 dai ricercatori dell'ex
Unione Sovietica, con particolare riferimento all'azione delle microonde sul
sistema immunitario dei ratti esposti.
Dai
test si riscontra una produzione di autoanticorpi diretti contro gli
antigeni della struttura cerebrale con manifestazioni cliniche quali
ridotta capacità di movimento e stress comportamentale, Il tutto a valori di CEM
non termici.

ABSTRACT
This paper presents the results of a replication study
performed to investigate earlier Soviet studies conducted between 1974 and 1991
that showed immunological and reproductive effects of long-term low-level
exposure of rats to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields. The early
studies were used, in part, for developing exposure standards for the USSR
population and thus it was necessary to confirm the Russian findings. In the
present study, the conditions of RF exposure were made as similar as possible
to those in the earlier experiments: Wistar rats were exposed in the far field
to 2450 MHz continuous wave RF fields with an incident power density in the
cages of 5 W/m² for 7 h/day, 5 days/week for a total of 30 days, resulting in a
whole-body SAR of 0.16 W/kg. Effects of the exposure on immunological
parameters in the brain and liver of rats were evaluated using the complement
fixation test (CFT), as in the original studies, and an additional test, the
more modern ELISA test. Our results, using CFT and ELISA, partly confirmed the
findings of the early studies and indicated possible effects from non-thermal
RF exposure on autoimmune processes. The RF exposure resulted in minor
increases in formation of antibodies in brain tissue extract and the exposure did
not appear to be pathological. In addition, a study was conducted to replicate
a previous Soviet study on effects from the injection of blood serum from
RF-exposed rats on pregnancy and foetal and offspring development of rats,
using a similar animal model and protocol. Our results showed the same general
trends as the earlier study, suggesting possible adverse effects of the blood
serum from exposed rats on pregnancy and foetal development of intact rats,
however, application of these results in developing exposure standards is
limited.
