[The effect of electromagnetic radiation on the membranes of the sarcoplasmic reticulum].

On the sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes has been shown that at temperature of Ca2(+)-ATPase activity change of dependence in the Arrhenius plot the microwaves (2450 MHz, specific absorption rate 12 w/kg) inhibit the ATP-hydrolase and Ca2(+)-transporting activity of Ca2(+)-ATPase. The effect of radiation exhibits within the narrow temperature range (approximately 1 degree C) and quantitatively corresponds to the decrease of Ca2(+)-ATPase activity caused by the decrease of temperature by 1.6 degrees C from 18 degrees C. The fluorescence intensity of naphthalene sulfonic probes reduces under the influence of microwaves at 18 degrees C.

[K+,H+ and Cl- fluxes across erythrocyte membrane irradiated with radio frequency electromagnetic fields].

The effect of 460 MHz microwave radiation on the ion-transporting properties of the isolated rat erythrocytes was studied with the use of K+, H+ and Cl(-)-selective electrodes. In comparison with the control cells kept at 0 degree C the most significant changes were observed in the K+ transport system. Particularly, microwave radiation (specific absorbed rate 280 W/kg) caused an increased loss of K+ during treatment and 2-fold decrease in the rate of K+ efflux from the irradiated erythrocytes, when the latter were incubated in the isoosmotic, unbuffered sucrose. The same changes were observed when the erythrocytes were conventionally heated up to 39 degrees C for 20 minutes. It is concluded that high levels of microwave radiation cause temperature-induced changes of the membrane structure resulting in alterations in potassium transport across the membrane.
