Changes in nitrogen monoxide stable metabolites level in brain tissue homogenates of chick embryos under the influence of extremely high frequency (EHF) irradiation and low-dose radiation

Abstract

Changes in nitrogen monoxide stable metabolite level in brain tissue homogenates is associated with changes of activity and quantity of neuronal NO-synthase in brain cells. The activity of this enzyme can be regulated by an external factors such as EHF irradiation and low-dose ionizing radiation altering the level of nitrogen monoxide stable metabolites. Research shows that EHF irradiation with a frequency of 53.56 GHz as well as ionizing radiation with a dose of 0.048 Gy lead to a significant increase in quantity of nitrogen monoxide stable metabolites.
