Kidney lesions from mycotoxins as observed by electron microscope.
A number of histopathological changes, such as cloudy swelling, fatty and parenchymatic degeneration and vacuolisation caused in kidney by mycotoxins from mouldy hay, were examined and studied with the aid of the electron microscope. Changes were observed in mitochondria, membranes, plasma granulation, glycogen secretion, vesiculation and vacuolisation.
