The study of biological effects induced by microwave (900MHz) on SOD (Superoxide dimutase) and ODC (Ornithine decarboxylase) activity in chick embryos’ brain, and spontaneous activity of the newborn chicken has been reported in this paper. Thirty chick embryos were randomly divided into 6 groups, 3 control groups and 3 exposure groups. 3 exposure groups were irradiated with 900MHz microwave 2h per day from 5 to 20 day. The SOD and ODC activity in chick embryos’ brain was examined at 13,th, and 20,th, day of the incubation and at the second day after birth spontaneous activity was monitored. The SOD activity of the exposed groups significantly decreased at the 13th day and was recovered at the 20,th, day. The spontaneous activity in chicken of the exposure group increased significantly compared to the control group. Microwave would induce oxidative stress in chick embryos and enhance spontaneous activity of the chicken hatched.
