Abstract: | Most of cancer drugs used in chemotherapy induce most of the time strong immunosuppresive states and lymphotoxic effects, characterized especially by the alteration of lymphoid tissues. The aim of this study is to reveal stress conditions adrenals response after given chemotherapy as the connections between immune and endocrine system are well known. Giving 40 mg/kg body/day cyclophosphamide (CFA) therapy to rats by 3 days consecutively i.p. injections, can determine morphological and structural damages of the studied organs. The 24 hours adrenals histopathological and electron microscopy examination after CFA last dose administration proved the installations of some structural changes especially in the glomerulosa and fasciculata zone of adrenal cortex. |
