Ten horses without ingestion history of Ageratina adenophora were classified into the control group, and 10 poisoned but survived horses with 3 months ingestion history were set as the case group. Results showed that serum AST, ALT, ALP, magnesium and phosphorus were elevated significantly, while creatinine was decreased remarkably. Hematoxylin and eosin staining of liver tissues showed diffuse swelling or destruction of hepatocytes, narrowing or atrophy of the hepatic sinusoids, and little lymphocytic infiltration; lung tissues presented destroyed alveoli and inflammatory cell infiltration.}, type={Short communication}, title={Effect of Ageratina adenophora on hepatic and pulmonic pathological lesions in horses}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/122038/PDF/18%20_%20Gu%20_%20NOW%20_%20short.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pjvs.2021.139987}, keywords={Ageratina adenophora, liver, lung, horse, toxicity}, }
