Investigation Of Acute Toxicological Effects Of Diesels Fuel In Rats ( Rattus rattus ) Using Histopathological Methods
Acute toxicological effects of diesel fuel in rats were investigated. The LD50 value was determined as 70.6gIkg using rats of 0.2kg body weight. Histopathological examination of rat tissues after exposure of rat groups to 0.9% saline (controlgroup), LD50 and LD100 of diesel fuel for 24 hour revealed...
