Fifty rats were used in this experiment. They were divided into Ii groups A,B,C and D which were treated by S/C. injection of (M U T) at dose level l0, 0,5 0,2 0,l mg. per Kg body weight respectively. ln addition, fifth group E of 10 animals was used as control. The morphometrical changes revealed that. l- The gromerular tuft is significantly decreased by administration of antithyroid drug. 2- lncrease in the muclear diameter in the first two groups. 3~ increase in the glomerular diameter in the first group. | ||
