Protective Effect of Low-Intensity Extremely High-Frequency Electromagnetic Radiation on an Experimental Model of Intestinal Dysbacteriosis in Laboratory Rats

Type: article
Abstract: An experimental model of dysbacteriosis caused by gentamicin sulfate, an antibiotic, was used to investigate the effect of low-intensity electromagnetic radiation of extremely high-frequencies (42.2 GHz, 0.1 mW/cm2, pulse modulation by a meander with a frequency of 1 Hz, exposure duration 30 min per day for 10 consecutive days, starting from the fourth day after the induction of dysbacteriosis) on the fatty acid composition of the thymus, blood plasma, activity of antioxidant enzymes, the amount of malondialdehyde and lactate in blood of laboratory rats. A significant decrease in the amount of myristic, palmitic, stearic, palmitoleic, oleic and linoleic fatty acids in the thymus in animals was shown. The activity of antioxidant enzymes, the amount of fatty acids and malondialdehyde in the blood remained unchanged. Lactate level in blood plasma decreased. Irradiation was shown to result in normalization of the fatty acid composition of the thymus and the amount of lactate in plasma in animals with dysbacteriosis. Due to its high efficacy, low-intensity extremely high-frequency electromagnetic radiation knowing certain parameters in dysbiosis opens up fundamentally new possibilities that could use these frequency spectrum bands to prevent and treat a number of pathological conditions associated with dysbiosis.
