The impact of electromagnetic oscillations of the terahertz band at frequencies of NO radiation and absorption molecular spectrum (150.176-150.664 GHz) for the functional activity of platelets was studied in albino rats exposed to immobilization stress. The effect of these waves was sex-specific: females were more sensitive to radiation than males. Relationship between the terahertz waves and phase of estrous cycle in females was detected: estrus females exhibited maximum sensitivity to these waves.
