ABSTRACT
Changes of membrane potential of lymphocytes of peripheral blood under the influence of the activation agents: phytohemagglutinin, concanavalin A and Ca(2+)-ionophore A 23187 in 25 patients (men) with hypertensive disease and 8 healthy persons (men) aged 25 to 35 years have been studied. The results obtained testify to the existence of functional disturbances of lymphocytes' membrane and confirmed the wide-spread of the membrane defect in patients with hypertensive disease.

The influence of microwave radiation (61 GHz) on Ca(2+) pump of sarcoplasmic reticulum in rat muscle homogenates has been investigated. The microwave field with the surface density power stream of about 4 mW/cm2 has been shown to increase the rate of Ca2+ uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum in heart and skeletal muscle homogenate of rats.
