Aim of the work: This study examined effect of CPF on the thyroid gland structure and function and the ameliorative effect of ginger extract and selenium. Material and Methods: forty rats were categorized into four groups. Control group I, group II: rats were given CPF at a dose of 6.7 mg/kg orally five days / week for six weeks, group III: rats were given CPF and ginger extract at a dose of 750 mg/kg  orally, five days / week for six weeks. Group IV: rats were given CPF and sodium selenite 10 µg/Kg orally five days / week for six weeks, blood samples were taken for hormonal essay. Thyroid gland specimens were prepared for the histological and immunohistochemical studies. Results: chlorpyrifos induced functional toxic effect and destruction of the thyroid gland histological structures. There was a significant decrease in area % of the colloid and a significant increase in mean number of PCNA positive nuclei in comparison with the control group.
