How do hormonal imbalances manifest histologically?
Hormonal imbalances can lead to characteristic histological changes:
Hyperthyroidism: Increased thyroid hormone levels can cause follicular cell hypertrophy and hyperplasia in the thyroid gland. Cushing’s syndrome: Excess cortisol can lead to hypertrophy of the adrenal cortex and changes in liver and adipose tissues. Diabetes mellitus: Insulin deficiency or resistance can result in pancreatic islet cell changes and alterations in tissues affected by high blood glucose levels.
