โœฆ Synopsis

In an effort to understand microwave heating better, regional brain and core temperatures of rats exposed to microwave radiation (2450 MHz) or elevated air temperatures were measured in two studies. In general, we have found no substantial evidence for temperature differentials, or "hot spots," in the brain of these animals. In the first study, after a 30min exposure, no temperature differences between brain regions either after microwave or ambient air exposure were found. However, a highly significant correlation between brain and core temperatures was found and this correlation was the same for both microwave and ambient air heating. In the second study, time-temperature profiles were measured in rats exposed to either 30 mW/cm2 or 36.2 "C. In this study, the 30-min exposure period was divided into seven intervals and the change in temperature during each period was analyzed. Only the cortex showed significantly different heating rates between the air heating and microwave heating; however, this difference disappeared after the initial 5 min of exposure.

## Abstract Rats raised from day 2 of life at an ambient temperature of 10ยฐ showed delayed vaginal opening when compared to controls raised at 22ยฐ. Coldraised animals were also lighter in weight at the time of vaginal opening and had significantly longer estrous cycles. Low temperature may cause th
