Hemodynamic Changes Induced by Preventive Exposure to Terahertz Radiation at a Frequency Range Corresponding to Molecular Emission and Absorption Spectrum of Nitric Oxide in Animals under Conditions of Acute Stress

Abstract

We studied the influence of preventive irradiation with terahertz electromagnetic waves at frequencies corresponding to nitric oxide emission and absorption molecular spectrum (150,176-150,664 GHz) on hemodynamic parameters in arteries of albino rats upon acute immobilization stress. We showed that exposure to the specified frequencies can produce adaptogenic effect manifesting in the absence of post-stress changes in the linear, systolic, and diastolic blood flow velocities and pressure gradient in various blood vessels of experimental animals.
