A master's thesis at the College of Science at Basrah University discussed (Cellular, histological and biochemical aspects of the effect of acrylamide on the pituitary and thyroid glands in laboratory rats).
The thesis of the student Alia Abbas Nazim included a study of the cellular, histological and biochemical aspects of the effect of acrylamide on the pituitary gland and thyroid gland in laboratory rats.
This thesis aims to identify the effect of acrylamide on the histological structure of the pituitary and thyroid glands, a biochemical study to identify hormonal disorders, and a cellular study to identify chromosomal abnormalities.
The study concluded that acrylamide affects the body weight and the weight of the organs (pituitary and thyroid) and causes tissue changes in both the pituitary and thyroid glands, and malfunctions in the functions of the thyroid gland and some hormones.
