[Effect of DDT on hepatocytes in Ictalurus sp. and Carassius carassius]
Bollettino Della Societa Italiana Di Biologia Sperimentale
|February 1, 1989
Abstract:
During fifteen days low dosages of DDT on two different LC50-teleost fishes (Ictalarus sp. and Carassius carassius) were studied. Treatment with DDT, after three days, induces in Carassius hepatocytes a loss of glycogen granules, an increase of ergastoplasm, a mitochondrial swelling and wide cytoplasmic vacuoles. In Ictalurus there is no glycogen loss, but an increase of ergastoplasm and a great increase of lipidic inclusions are observed.
