Modifying effects of low-intensity extremely high-frequency electromagnetic radiation under injury induced by X-rays

It was shown for the first time that the exposure of laboratory SHK mice to low-intensity modulated extremely high-frequency electromagnetic radiation (EHF EMR) with effective parameters (carrier frequency of 42.2 GHz, intensity of 0.1 mW/cm2, exposure duration for 20 min, pulse modulation with a frequency of 1 Hz) before and after treatment with X-rays at a dose of 4 Gy caused pronounced radiation protective effect which is manifested as more recent restoration of thymus cellularity and a keeping unchanged summary content of fatty acids in thymic tissue. It is supposed that the mechanisms of the radiation protective effect of EHF EMR are connected with an induction of adaptive response and favorable action of the radiation on repair processes.
