Quantitative Ratio of Lymphocytes in Lymphoid Nodules of the Small Intestine of Rats When Exposed to Herbicides

Abstract

In our work, we determined the number of lymphocytes in the lymphoid nodules in normal condition and when exposed to the herbicide which passed through the mother’s milk. The results of the study showed that in the control group in all age categories, the number of large lymphocytes increases in the distal direction throughout the small intestine, and in the experimental group, the number of small lymphocytes decreases. An increase in the number of large (not mature) lymphocytes in the lymphoid nodules of the small intestine of the experimental group indicates a response of the body to achemical effect.
