  • Title: Association of microwaves and ionizing radiation: potentiation of teratogenic effects in the rat.
    Author: Roux C, Elefant E, Gaboriaud G, Jaullery C, Gardette J, Dupuis R, Lambert D.
    Journal: Radiat Res; 1986 Dec; 108(3):317-26. PubMed ID: 3797637.
    Abstract:
    Pregnant Wistar rats were exposed to either microwave-induced hyperthermia or gamma radiation or a combination of both. In microwave-induced hyperthermia, a core temperature of 42 degrees C was slightly teratogenic and a core temperature greater than or equal to 43 degrees C was highly teratogenic. Gamma radiation at 40 cGy was subteratogenic, while a dose of 75 cGy was highly teratogenic. A combination of microwave-induced hyperthermia up to 42 degrees C with 40 cGy of gamma radiation was highly teratogenic, indicating a mutual potentiation of the embryotoxic action of these two teratogens.
