Implication

Histological study investigates effects of malathion on islets of Langerhans and glucose levels in embryos, suggesting significant developmental changes.

Key Points

To examine the impact of malathion on the development of islets of Langerhans in chick embryos and its effects on blood glucose and liver glycogen.
Histological examination of islets of Langerhans
Measurement of blood glucose levels
Assessment of liver glycogen storage
Malathion increased differentiation of alpha and beta tissue
Acinar-beta cells showed enhanced differentiation
Blood glucose levels decreased (hypoglycemia)
Liver glycogen storage increased
