Evaluation of Morphological and Morphometric Changes in the Layers of the Stomach Wall under the Influence of Palm Oil During Postnatal Ontogenesis

Abstract

To evaluate the morphological and morphometric changes in the gastric wall layers of white male laboratory rats taken for the study under the influence of palm oil. Materials and methods: For the study, we used white laboratory rats of different ages (21,60,90,120,150,180 days) with a body weight of 48 grams to 220 grams under the influence of palm oil. In this case, palm oil was additionally administered into the stomach using a probe after the daily special food given to the rats in the laboratory. In order to study the general structural structures of the stomach of experimental animals, it was stained using the Hematoxylin-Eosin and Van-Gieson methods. Results: When we gave white rats 1.7 g/kg of palm oil daily for 30 days, no toxicity was observed in their bodies. During the study, morphological and morphometric changes were detected in the body weight of rats and in the stomach wall. Conclusions: It was determined that the morphological and morphometric indicators of the layers of the stomach wall and morpho-functional changes in the experimental group of rats were significantly higher than in the control group.
