Structure of biological molecules may change when exposure to electromagnetic field, the change can be recognized from the change of the infrared spectrum. The present paper studied microstructure of rat blood, testis and brain after its exposure to infrared light for 30 days via their FTIR characteristics within the 1 700 - 1 000 cm(-1) range, and the authors also analysed biological characteristics of tissue microstructure with infrared light exposure on rat by their second derivative spectra. Mechanisms of biological effects induced by infrared light were further explored through the findings. All the results indicate that the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy can be used to analyze infrared light exposure for biological tissue microstructure.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D001769	Blood	The body fluid that circulates in the vascular system (BLOOD VESSELS). Whole blood includes PLASMA and BLOOD CELLS.
D001921	Brain	The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.	Encephalon
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
