Abstract
The effects of Lead nitrate on liver, gizzard, and kidney of Herring gull
(Larus argentatus) were studied. Significant changes were observed after
high and low concentrations of Lead nitrate were injected to Larus
argentatus. Paraffin sections showed major alterations at high and low
concentration of Lead nitrate in liver, gizzard and kidney. High
concentration of Lead nitrate induced, severe dystrophy along with
hepatic necrosis; reduction in thickness of muscular layer of gizzard and
marked alterations in loop of Henle of kidney. While, low concentration of
Lead nitrate showed slight alteration in loop of Henle in kidney; disruption
and thinning of epithelium of gizzard and mild disruption of hepatic cords
in liver. No laceration was observed in the mentioned body tissues of
Larus argentatus of control group.
