Abstract
Effects of Microwave (MW) radiation exposures on LDL, HDL, TCL and TGR have been studied as a means for assessment of health impacts. Exposures caused increase in LDL (354.2%), reduction in HDL (18.6%), increase in TCL (68.4%) and decrease in TGR (31.4%) within the first 24 h. The modifying roles of administered anti-oxidants were evaluated. Vitamins C and E reduced the effects of MW exposures on LDL by 35.4 and 37.7% respectively, on HDL by 50.0 and 40.5% respectively, on TCL by 36.8 and 26.4%, respectively and on TGR by 35.7 and 48.5% respectively. Results showed MW exposure health risks include atherosclerosis and acute coronary syndrome while diets fortified with vitamins C and E are recommended for persons working within MW fields in order to minimize the associated MW exposure health hazards.
