RESUMO
The effect of 13 Hz repetition rate X-ray pulses with 3 x 10(-6)-1.5 x 10(-4) Gr per pulse dose during 5 minute on drosophila's larvae and on pupae vas investigated. It was shown that the effect depends on drosophila's age as well as on X-ray dose and manifests itself in variation of life expectancy and fertility.

Effects of repetitive X-ray and microwave pulses on the rat liver functions were investigated. The action of repetitive nanosecond X-ray is characterized by the metabolic dysfunction of the liver. In particular, it results in a considerable reduction in the ALT activity, augmentation of the AST/ALT ratio and decrease of the total protein content. The most considerable effect is observed at 16 Hz. Microwave pulses render a less significant effect on metabolic functions of the rat liver as compared to X-rays. The effect depends on the frequency of pulses.
