M. Rosety et al., A MORPHOLOGICAL-STUDY IN THE KIDNEY AND SPLEEN OF GILTHEAD, SPARUS-AURATA, L. CAUSED BY SODIUM DODECYL-SULFATE, Histology and histopathology, 12(4), 1997, pp. 925-929
This paper reports the morphological changes in the kidney and spleen
of gilthead (Sparus aurata, L), caused by acute action of the anionic
detergent, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). Twenty-five giltheads were e
xposed to SDS concentrations of 5, 8.5, 10 and 15 mg/l. Morphological
changes depending on detergent concentrations and length of exposure w
ere seen. Kidney shows loss of normal structure with tubular and renal
corpuscle retraction; spleen shows tendency to damage the reticulae s
tructure and a progressive increase of leucocytes and red cells infilt
ration.
