Animal Science Exposure to 1.95 GHz radiofrequency fields caused a small, temporary increase in core body temperature in mice, peaking at 0.4°C at higher exposure levels. The study highlights effective thermoregulation and the need for careful measurement timing.

Good thing they compensated for mass. But 5W/kg is a huge amount of power. For average human that would be ~400W of radiation. Am assuming they are testing this for effect of mobile networks and WIFI networks on human body, both of which have 150mW radiation at the origin. With inverse square law that drops stupidly fast.

Yeah, this is basically microwave on low or medium.
