Endogenous albumin leakage expressed as the number of albumin spots following repeated exposure to GSM-1800 or UMTS-1950: The rats were treated as indicated in the Methods. Brain-averaged SAR were 0 W/kg (C: cage controls, S: sham-exposed animals), 0.026 W/kg; 0.26 W/kg; 2.6 W/kg, and 13 W/kg and the regions of interest were: ROI 1 (bregma −0.30 to −0.80 mm), ROI 2 (bregma −3.30 to −4.50 mm), and ROI 3 (bregma −7.30 to −8.00 mm). (a) Representative images of endogenous albumin leakage after sham-exposure or exposure to GSM-1800 at 13 W/kg in the third region of interest (bregma −7.30 to −8.00 mm). (b) Endogenous albumin leakage immediately after a 4-week exposure. (c) Endogenous albumin leakage 50 days after a 4-week exposure. Data are mean ± SEM; n = 11–16. #Significant increase versus sham exposure, p < 0.05 (Kruskall-Wallis test).
