Abstract

This study was undertaken to find out the effect of lead on histopathological changes in rat. Thirty female Wistar rats, 7 weeks old, were divided into a control and two experimental groups. The control was received normal diet. The two experimental groups were received diets contaminated artificially with 10 or 5,000 ug/g of lead administration group, histopathological changes were observed in the kidney, liver, heat, brain and lung from the 4th week of experiment. Desquamation of renal epithelia and inclusion bodies in the epithelia of renal tubules were demonstrated in the kidneys. But the liver did not show acid-fast inclusion body. Degeneration of cardiac muscles were seen. The number of mast cells were increased in the cardiac muscles. Darkly stained neurons in the cerebral cortex, some inflammatory cells around meningeal vessels and distended Virchow-Robin spaces were observed.
