A rate of lipid peroxidation, content of biogenic amines and cyclic nucleotides were studied in various brain structures of 168 rats under conditions of microwave irradiation within 24 min at 46 mW/cm2. Total irradiation of animals was shown to result in distinct inhibition of monoaminergic activity of brain, especially of hypothalamus, in impairment of metabolic reactions, in exhaustion of the lipid antioxidative system of brain cortex and in stimulation of the contrainsular apparatus functions.
