Estudo do efeito da radiação eletromagnética na frequência de 850 MHz sobre o limiar de convulsão e sobre as propriedades anticonvulsivantes do fenobarbital.

Abstract

This work was devoted to evaluate the frequency of 850 MHz, used commercially by the technology of the movable telephony, it can work as factor precipitante of convulsive crisis, to turn cases subclinics in clinics, or to interfere in the effects anticonvulsivantes of the drugs used for this end; to observe and to analyze the effects happened in a certain group of subjects (Rattus norvegicus) when submitted to the radiation and to compare them with the control group, no submitted the radiation. The effects were studied through an experimental animal model (convulsion model induced by pentilenotetrazol). The results had shown an increase of the time of latency and reduction in the number of animals that had convulsion and the intensity of convulsion to the chronic exposition (10 days) at 850 MHz frequency and an additional anticonvulsivante effect of fenobarbital represented for an increase of the limiar convulsion and for the reduction of the convulsion degree.
