How is Tissue Damage Assessed in Toxicological Studies?
Tissue damage in toxicological studies is assessed using various methods, including histopathological examination, biochemical assays, and imaging techniques. Histopathology involves examining tissue sections under a microscope to identify structural changes indicative of damage. Biochemical assays can quantify specific biomarkers of tissue damage, such as enzymes released from damaged cells. Advanced imaging techniques, such as MRI and CT scans, provide detailed information on tissue structure and function.
