  • Title: The effect of microwaves on dimensions and nucleic-acid concentration in snail neurons.
    Author: Arber SL.
    Journal: J Microw Power; 1981 Mar; 16(1):21-3. PubMed ID: 6909303.
    Abstract:
    Effects of microwaves (continuous wave, frequency 2450 MHz, rate of energy absorption 15.5 mW/g, irradiation time 60 min) on isolated subesophageal ganglia of Helix lucorum snail were studied. During exposure a constant temperature of the solution in which the ganglia were bathed was maintained. It was found that such an exposure led to a decrease in the concentration of nucleic acids in snail neurons as well as to an increase of nuclear area and to dimunition of cytoplasmic area.
