Abstract
The axial periodicity of rat arachnoid and dura mater collagen fibrils exposed to 910 MHz for 2 h/day for 30 consecutive days was measured by means of image analysis of electron-optical data. Such measurements were compared with those from sham-exposed animals. These measurements reveal that on exposure, the intermolecular interactions during collagen fibril assembly are affected.
