Histological Evaluation of the Genital Tract of Artemia parthenogenetica in Urmia Lake Area

This research aimed to study the histology of the genital tract of Artemia parthenogenetica in Urmia Lake area.The studied samples were put in the stabilization solutions of 10% formalin and Bowen in order to be investigated after verification of the experts of Artemia Research Center of country, during the hatching and rearing period in incubator, and during the sexual maturation. They were also examined after tissue periods and cut with microtome by Hematoxylin method and Eosin painting and by light microscopy and photomicrographs taken from them. In the histological study of simple epithelial cells, linings of the uterus gradually towards the output mouth are converted to stratified tissue. The basal lamina and the connective tissue are located under it. The smooth muscles are located out of the connective tissue, which gradually transforms into the striped muscle tissue to facilitate the passage of cysts in the uterus and outlet ducts

Prenatal, lactation and postnatal effects of lead acetate on histological, histochemical and hepatic indices of liver of male offspring wistar rats

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible effects of maternal administration to lead acetate on the morphological structure of the liver; AST, ALT, ALP and GGT levels and glycogen content of hepatocytes of male offspring wistar rats. Female rats were exposed to 0.2% lead acetate in drinking water and the study was performed on their male offspring (7 groups). To evaluate the levels of liver enzymes, blood samples were taken from rats after anesthesia. After dissection, to study its morphological structure and glycogen content of hepatocytes, liver tissue was isolated and transferred to 10% formalin. To measure the levels of hepatic enzymes; AST, ALT, ALP and GGT; serum samples were evaluated. For histological examinations, liver tissue samples were embedded in paraffin after tissue processing and 3 μm thickness sections were prepared from them and then H&E and PAS staining was performed. The results showed that exposure to 0.2% lead acetate induced significant changes in liver enzyme levels in different experimental groups.&nbsp
