The effect of microwave radiation with long-term exposure on the activity of Na+, K+–ATPase of loach embryos (Misgurnus fossilis L.) during early embryogenesis has been researched. It has been shown that mobile phone radiation (900 MHz in particular) demonstrated the inhibitory effect on the Na+ K+-ATPase activity of embryonic membrane. The dose-dependent effect between ATPase activity and duration of exposure has not been established. Varying the duration of exposure at the stage of 10th division of blastomeres, the enzyme activity was on the same level, which means it had similar values. Probably, the mechanism of microwave radiation effect on sodium-potassium pump is realized through the changes in lipid environment under the influence of current factor as far as changes in the activity of cell membrane enzymes might be resulted by the intensification of lipid peroxidation processes.
