sodium-dodecyl-sulfate and Splenic-Diseases

This paper reports the morphological changes in the kidney and spleen of gilthead (Sparus aurata, L), caused by acute action of the anionic detergent, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). Twenty-five giltheads were exposed to SDS concentrations of 5, 8.5, 10 and 15 mg/l. Morphological changes depending on detergent concentrations and length of exposure were seen. Kidney shows loss of normal structure with tubular and renal corpuscle retraction; spleen shows tendency to damage the reticulae structure and a progressive increase of leucocytes and red cells infiltration.
