Histo-anatomical mutilations of developing chick brain induced by in-ovo fluoride and bifenthrin exposure

Comparative developing brain histo-anatomical pathologies of Fluoride ions and Bifenthrin in-ovo exposures were explored in the golden black variety of domestic chick. Three exposure groups were –the Vehicle control group (Vg); Fluoride (F) group and the Bifenthrin (Bn) group each with forty fertili...

description Comparative developing brain histo-anatomical pathologies of Fluoride ions and Bifenthrin in-ovo exposures were explored in the golden black variety of domestic chick. Three exposure groups were –the Vehicle control group (Vg); Fluoride (F) group and the Bifenthrin (Bn) group each with forty fertilized eggs and received their respective group treatment at zero day of incubation. Embryos were extracted, dissected from head region and the embryonic whole brains were recovered after 14 days of incubation. The embryonic brains were preserved in bouin fixative for 24 h for further studies. The morphological results show the atrophied and hypertrophied embryonic brain in F and Bn groups respectively as compared to Vg group. The toxicological signs of encephalic anatomy and histology of F and Bn exposure were the enlarged third ventricles, optocoeles and arachnoid mater, encephalic spongiosis and decreased neuroglial density. The morphometric data showed significant decrease (p ≤ 0.05) in mean weight and density of whole brain in F and Bn groups compared Vg. The mean length and width of whole brain in F were significantly lower than that of the Bn and Vg. whereas, the mean breadth of third ventricle in Bn remained significantly lower than F and Vg groups. On the other hand, the mean breadth of optocoele and fourth ventricle in F and Bn groups remained significantly higher than Vg. Conversely the mean optic lobe wall thickness in F remained significantly lower than Bn and Vg. Additionally, the mean neuronal density in diencephalon, optic lobe and cerebellum in F group and Bn group remained significantly (p ≤ 0.05) lower than Vg. Results show that low dose in-ovo fluoride or bifenthrin exposure may cause neuro-developmental abnormalities in the developing chick embryos indicating that the Fluoride-ions and Bifenthrin harbor strong developmental neurotoxic capacity.
