How Are Vasoactive Substances Studied in Histology?
Histological techniques such as immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization are employed to localize and quantify vasoactive substances within tissues. Researchers utilize specific antibodies or probes to detect the presence and distribution of these molecules, providing insights into their roles in both normal and diseased states. Electron microscopy can also reveal ultrastructural changes in blood vessels in response to these substances.
