[Changes in binding of corticosteroids by transcortin in blood and in oxidative processes in rabbit liver mitochondria under the effect of decimeter waves].

Irradiation of rabbits with decimetre waves (regions of adrenal glands, liver and lower part of thigh) was accompanied by an increased content of free, biologically active corticosteroids in blood plasma due to liberation of the substances from a complex with transcortine. This phenomenon correlated with activation of the electron transport in respiratory chain of liver tissue mitochondria. The irradiation of the liver region caused distinct alteration in mitochondrial functions apparently due to intensified effect of the decimetre waves directly on the liver tissue.
