How is Inflammation Detected in Toxicological Studies?
Inflammation can be detected using several methods in toxicological studies:
Biomarkers: Levels of cytokines like IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6 in blood or tissue samples. Histopathological analysis: Microscopic examination of tissue samples to identify inflammatory cells and tissue changes. Immunohistochemistry: Techniques to detect specific inflammatory markers in tissues. Imaging techniques: MRI and PET scans to visualize inflammation in vivo.
