Differential Effects of Decimetric Electromagnetic Microwaves on Pyruvate Kinase Activity in the Rat Brain during Ontogenesis

Pyruvate kinase (PK) is one of the energy supply enzymes.

Exposed rats: In cortical and subcortical brain structures at 10 µW/cm2 increased PK while at 30 µW/cm2 it decreased. In mitochondrial subcellular fractions of the brain structures, PK activity decreased more at 10 µW/cm2 than at 30 µW/cm2. No differences in PK in the cytosolic subcellular fractions was detected instead.
