ABSTRACT
The terahertz electromagnetic irradiation at NO emission and absorption spectrum frequencies elevated the concentration of nitrites in blood serum of albino rats subjected to acute immobilization stress.

The impact of electromagnetic oscillations of the terahertz band at frequencies of NO radiation and absorption molecular spectrum (150.176-150.664 GHz) for the functional activity of platelets was studied in albino rats exposed to immobilization stress. The effect of these waves was sex-specific: females were more sensitive to radiation than males. Relationship between the terahertz waves and phase of estrous cycle in females was detected: estrus females exhibited maximum sensitivity to these waves.

The effect of terahertz electromagnetic radiation at the emission and absorption frequencies of NO molecular spectrum on blood rheology were studied in vitro in patients with unstable angina treated with isoket (NO donor). Irradiated NO donor isoket produced better normalizing effect on blood viscosity and erythrocyte deformability in patients with unstable angina.
