Study of apoptosis induce effects of silver nanoparticles in kidney of Broiler Chickens

Apoptosis is a form of cell death that is often regular and targeted in some cells¡ but it can be induced whit some drugs and toxins or pathogens also.This research was carried out on 240 one day-old male broiler chickens (Ross 308) in a completely randomized design (CRD) in four treatments at 0(control)¡ 4 ¡ 8 and 12 ppm levels of silver nanoparticles that was added to water intake with four repetitions within 16 separate cages and 15 birds in each pen. At the end of research (day 42)16 chicks were randomly selected and slaughtered and their kidney were examined with light microscope. TUNEL stainingshowed significant (p
