This histological study examines liver changes in chick embryos treated with Malathion, indicating potential developmental risks.

The study aims to investigate the effects of Malathion on the histological and histochemical development of the liver in chick embryos.
Chick embryos were treated with Malathion at a teratogenic dose at 5 days of incubation.
Histological examination was conducted to assess liver structure.
Histochemical analysis measured lipid levels, phosphorylase activity, and RNA content.
Malathion treatment increased lipid levels at days 13 and 15.
There was a decrease in liver glycogen from days 8 to 12, followed by an increase after day 12.
At day 21, liver glycogen levels were reduced.

James Stuart Allen (1975) studied this question.
