title: [Changes in the cerebral microcirculatory bed under molybdenum exposure].
abstract: Histochemical study of brain hemisphere hemo-microcirculatory bed in rats treated with large doses of molybdenum demonstrated significant 30-55% narrowing of capillary diameter as compared to that in normal animals. This constriction is likely to cause capillary trophic insufficiency syndrome that is important in pathogenetic mechanisms of molybdenum-induced toxicosis.
