Does low power microwave radiation inhibit the proliferation of rabbit lens epithelial cells by upregulating P27Kip1 expression?
This study suggests that low power microwave radiation higher than 0.50 mW/cm2 can inhibit lens epithelial cell proliferation, and increase the expression of P27Kip1. These effects may account for the decline of lens epithelial proliferation after exposure to microwave radiation.
These results suggest that the pharmacological effects of L-PDMP include significant facilitation of glucosylceramide biosynthesis and improvement of neural function.
