The pilot investigation was performed to explore the degree of reversibility of the microwave-induced increases in brain-capillary permeability. In addition, effects of microwaves on the blood-ocular barrier were examined.

Reversible increase of permeability of blood-brain barrier to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) after microwave irradiation; preliminary results obtained in two hamsters indicate that the blood-ocular barrier was similarly affected.
