How Are Pathological Changes Evaluated in Toxicology?
Pathological changes in toxicology are evaluated through a combination of histopathological techniques and biochemical assays. Histopathology involves staining and examining tissue sections under a microscope to identify structural alterations. Biochemical assays may be used to detect biomarkers of cell damage or stress, such as enzymes released from damaged cells. Together, these methods provide a comprehensive view of the impact of toxicants on biological systems.
