Histopathological alterations in liver and muscles of nMig. and Mig. redheaded buntings. Redheaded buntings were held under SD (nMig. condition) and transferred to LD on day 0. Liver and muscles were isolated from nMig., and Mig. buntings held on day 16. The sections were prepared using a microtome and stained with haematoxylin and eosin. Light micrographs of the liver sections from the nMig. and Mig. have been shown in panels a and c. Panels b and d represent the histopathological alterations in pectoralis muscle in nMig. and Mig., respectively. Yellow star indicates sinusoids, cyan triangle represents hepatocytes, yellow arrow indicates apoptotic bodies, cyan star represents necrotic area, cyan arrow for macrophages, white arrow represents necrotic area in muscles, dark cyan arrow head shows lipid droplets, myofibers are shown in cyan brackets, and collagen fibers are shown in dark brackets, respectively.
