barrier permeability in mammalian brain 7 days after exposure to the radiation from a GSM-900 mobile phone??Original Research ArticlePathophysiology Microwaves were for the first time produced by humans in 1886 when radio waves were broadcasted and received. Until then microwaves had only existed as a part of the cosmic background radiation since the birth of universe. By the following utilization of microwaves in telegraph communication, radars, television and above all, in the modern mobile phone technology, mankind is today exposed to microwaves at a level up to 1020 times the original background radiation since the birth of universe. Our group has earlier shown that the electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobile phones alters the permeability of the blood–brain barrier (BBB), resulting in albumin extravasation immediately and 14 days after 2?h of exposure. In the background section of this report, we present a thorough review of the literature on the demonstrated effects (or lack of effects) of microwave exposure upon the BBB. Furthermore, we have continued our own studies by investigating the effects of GSM mobile phone radiation upon the blood–brain barrier permeability of rats 7 days after one occasion of 2?h of exposure. Forty-eight rats were exposed in TEM-cells for 2?h at non-thermal specific absorption rates (SARs) of 0?mW/kg, 0.12?mW/kg, 1.2?mW/kg, 12?mW/kg and 120?mW/kg. Albumin extravasation over the BBB, neuronal albumin uptake and neuronal damage were assessed. Albumin extravasation was enhanced in the mobile phone exposed rats as compared to sham controls after this 7-day recovery period (Fishers exact probability test, p?=?0.04 and Kruskal–Wallis, p?=?0.012), at the SAR-value of 12?mW/kg (Mann–Whitney, p?=?0.007) and with a trend of increased albumin extravasation also at the SAR-values of 0.12?mW/kg and 120?mW/kg. There was a low, but significant correlation between the exposure level (SAR-value) and occurrence of focal albumin extravasation
