Abstract

This work was designed to study the parameters of metabolism and behavioral activity of rats in various stages of daily exposure to 2-h ultra-high frequency (UHF; 900 MHz) electromagnetic radiation (EMR) for 6 days. The most significant variations in the intensity of metabolic processes were found by the 3rd session of irradiation. It is manifested in an increase in the volume of O2 consumption and level of heat release in animals. EMR has a stimulatory effect on the drinking behavior of rats, which is particularly pronounced after the 3rd UHF-treatment. Repeated UHF irradiation has little effect on locomotor activity and amount of food consumption in animals. The changes in metabolic processes and drinking behavior during repeated exposure to UHF electromagnetic radiation serve as one of the major criteria for activation of complex adaptive processes in mammals under the influence of environmental stress factors.
