The area of the metabolic component of the microcirculatory bed decreases in the adrenal cortex of albino rats intoxicated with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (a herbicide), as revealed by quantitative histochemical analysis. This decrease is paralleled by a decrease in the production of adrenal steroids.

Exposure ofradiation ulcers in rats to a low-power JR laser radiation (LPLR) (wavelength of890 nm, pulse power of6 W, frequency range of 80-600 Hz, time of exposure -10 mm, during 10-20 days) considerably accelerates the ulcer healing, reduces the exudative processes, increases the number of specialized cells and connective elements in wound. A prophylactic LPLR application extends the time of formation of the acute radiation ulcer and reduces its size.
