Abstract

Thirty two mice were used to study the histopathological changes resulted
from the effect of vitamin C on the some mice tissues treated with nitrate.
Mice were divided randomly in to four equal groups. The 1st group was given
Vit C and potassium nitrate via water. The 2nd group was given potassium nitrate
and the 3rd group received Vit C only, while the 4th group represented the
control.
Two animals from each group were scarified weekly. The results showed
similar pathological changes in the 1st and 2nd group especially in the stomach
and intestine which gave severe changes that characterized by hyperplastic
changes in addition for the hemorrhages and the infiltrations of inflammatory
cells in all layers of both organs. Less alteration was seen in the liver and
kidney. On the other hand, no pathological changes in the 3rd and 4th group
were recorded
