Abstract
The present study reports on the pathological exaggeration of liver and kidney in addition to some biological, haematological parameters in copper poisoned rats, Rattus rattus albino. Physical examination of copper treated rats revealed a change in the colour of paws (from pink to white). Retarded animal growth further indicates adverse effects on its health. Haemoglobin percentage and haematocrit value were also decreased, whereas a slight elevation was noticed in the number of WBCs. Necrosis was the important lesion noticed in the liver and kidney. Present findings also show the sites of copper retention in these two tissues.
