- Abstract
As a result of cytological investigations it was discovered that the millimeter range microwaves being applied once during one hour stimulated erythrocytopoiesis of intact mice and induced a change of the lymphocytes number in the blood. The reaction to the microwaves depends on the location of irradiation and animal initial state, which was estimated pertinent to the red blood cells and white blood cells number in the peripheric blood. These factors are of prognostic importance. For mice with initial white and red blood cells numbers less than 12 X 10(9) l and 8 X 10(12) l the change of erythrocytopoiesis in the left thigh and thorax bone marrow took place and lymphopenia developed due to the irradiation of hind left leg. For other animals the stimulation of erythrocytopoiesis in the right thigh bone marrow and lymphocytes was registered due to microwaves irradiation of the hind right leg. The microwave effect is considered as a combination of local and general changes. On the basis of quantitative analysis the preferable mechanism of microwaves action on the whole organism level is discussed.
