Abstract
An experimental trial was conducted on thirty male wistar rats to study acephate induced pathomorphological alterations in male Wistar rats and its amelioration by S. chirata. The study was conducted for twenty eight days and evaluated by recording clinical signs, body weight, relative organ weights and observing gross and histopathological alterations in visceral organs at the end of trial.
Group II and group IV male rats showed prominent clinical signs such as increased salivation, piloerection, lethargy, increased urine output, diarrhoea and hair loss (from 14th day onward), Body weight (from 14th day onward) and Relative organ weights at 28th day interval were significantly decreased in a rats of group II and IV. No appreciable gross changes were recorded in organs, except, there was focal areas of necrosis and mild to moderate congestion in liver of rats of group II and IV. Histologically, alterations recorded were haemorrhages, degenerative and necrotic changes in Liver and Kidney sections; marked depopulation of lymphocytes in spleen; catarrhal enteritis with MNC infiltration in Intestines; depopulation of spermatogonial cells with emptying of seminiferous tubules in Testes; degenerative and necrotic changes in neurons with vacuolations in parenchyma of Brain. These appreciable changes showed improvement due to S. chirata.
