On the intestine and thyroid of swiss albino mice. Four adult mice are divided into two groups of which Group-1 consists of four untreated mice maintained in laboratory condition and the Group-2 consists of four mice in same condition but given daily Actaraat the dose of 2mg/gm body weight for a period of 14 days via oral route. Histopathological study was performed following the processes of microtomyas per the method of Luna et al., 1968 [1]. Results shows pathological changes as loosened muscular part, cytoplasmic degranulation, vacuolation, nucleopyknosis along with brokenvilli tips, disrupted and separated serosa in intestine. In thyroid tissues changes mainly occur as follicular enlargement, disruption of connective tissue, interstitial haemorrhage, congested blood vessels.
