HISTOLOGICAL CHANGES IN THE TESTI OF PURE INBRED SWISS MICE INDUCED BY PERMETHRIN INSECTICIDE

Permethrin, is a synthetic insecticide of appreciably low mammalian toxicity, it is especially useful for household purposes. This work aimed to study the gonadotoxic effect of this insecticide in Swiss mice, using two oral doses of 2000 and 3000 mg/kg b. w. for 30 days. The daily dose was 1.66 mg/...
