Abstract

This paper presents a preliminary analysis of the behavioral effects verified in rats of the species Rattus norvegicus, submitted to microwave radiation. The analysis, based on the elevated cross form maze experiment, had as main objective to verify the stress level in adult and young rats that suffered the influence of non-ionizing radiation (Experimental Group) and to compare the answer ratio (number of entrances in the open arms/total number of entrances in the arms) with the Control Group, exempt of the influence of the radiation. Throughout the tests, a microwave generator was used operating in the frequency of 2.45 GHz during a daily period of one hour. The results obtained with the experiment showed that, for the older rats, no significant variation in the anxiety and stress levels was observed between the Experimental and Control Groups. On the other hand, for the younger rats there was a considerable increase of those levels in the Experimental Group in relation to the Control Group.

微波辐射对褐家鼠应激水平的影响

本文对褐家鼠(Rattus norvegicus)在微波辐射下的行为效应进行了初步分析。本分析以高架十字迷宫实验为基础，主要目的是验证受非电离辐射影响的成年和幼龄大鼠(实验组)的应激水平，并比较不受辐射影响的对照组的应答比(张开的手臂入口数/手臂入口总数)。在整个测试过程中，使用了一台微波发生器，每天工作一小时，频率为2.45 GHz。实验结果表明，老龄大鼠的焦虑和压力水平在实验组和对照组之间没有明显变化。另一方面，对于年轻的老鼠来说，实验组的这些水平相对于对照组有相当大的增加。
