Phenomenological approach on electromagnetic waves propagation in normal and diabetic blood, influence of the relative macromolecular structures

摘要： This paper completes the thermodynamic characterization of normal and diabetic blood by the study of the propagation of electromagnetic waves. After a brief introduction on the thermodynamic approach in a biological system, the procedure used is briefly described. The problem of the propagation of electromagnetic waves is faced by deducing an expression of the propagation speed and attenuation of the wave as a function of the frequency. Comparison of results between normal and diabetic blood shows a greater number of permanent dipoles in diabetic blood than in the normal one. Diabetic blood tends to the insolubility because of conformational changes of blood proteins which cannot effectively respond to the stress of the electric field.
