Anatomical and histological analysis reveals malathion-induced abnormalities in chick tibiotarsus development, indicating potential developmental risks.

Key Points

To investigate the effects of malathion on the embryonic development of the tibiotarsus in chick embryos.
Chick embryos injected with 0.1 ml of 2% malathion at 5 days of incubation
Morphological changes in tibiotarsal histogenesis were observed and documented
Histological analysis was conducted on treated specimens comparing them to controls
Malathion-treated embryos showed reduced body size and micromelia
Histological features included a reduced matrix and abnormal chondrocyte arrangement
Periosteal ossification and cartilage resorption were accelerated in treated tissues
Increased glycogen levels found in hypertrophic chondrocytes and necrotic areas
Alkaline phosphatase was more widely distributed in treated embryos, correlating with ossification
