The effect of xylene on histology of spleen in female adolescent sprague dawley rat
Introduction: Xylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon that is widely used in industries such as rubber and printing. The spleen tissue contains red pulp and white pulp and lymphocytes that serve as body defense mechanism for foreign and invasion of toxic substances. We hypothesize that xylene exposure mig...
