This study aimed to detect the neurohistological damages of chronic exposure to low levels of pesticide (paraquat) in the hippocampus, and substantia nigra in Wistar rats' brains. The neurotoxic effects of acute poisoning are well established but the possibility that low level exposure causes different diseases is controversialIt is important to get a clear answer to this question as more individuals are at risk of low level exposure than acute poisoning. The anatomical and histological of current study to affected brains showed cells display the cytological changes of herbisecticides-lesioned brain tissue, such as a significant decrease in the size of the brain was observed, as most of its external features disappeared. in addition, we detected vacuolization around cells that degenerated because many reasons like apoptosis or necrosis, and the intracellular neurofibrillary tangles were observed at many regions such as the hippocampus and substantia nigra. Moreover extracellular amyloid plaques take fibers form were detected. we also observed degenerated in CA1, CA2 and CA3 regions (molecular layer, polymorphic layer and pyramidal layer) by pigmenting degenerated neurons with silver nitrate with increased astrocytes of glia cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
