title: Comparative study on cerebrovascular injuries by three chlorophenoxyacetic acids (2,4-D, 2,4,5-T and MCPA).
abstract: At toxic doses in rats, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) caused injuries in blood vessels in the brain. 2. 2,4-D caused extravasations of the circulating Evans blue-albumin complex also in the spinal cord. 3. By contrast, potency in damaging cerebral vessels was almost non-existent with 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T). 4. None of the three chlorophenoxyacetic acids caused such cerebrovascular injuries in mice, guinea pigs, Syrian hamsters, rabbits and chickens.
