What are the Challenges Associated with Lipid Markers?
Despite their utility, there are challenges in using lipid markers:
Tissue Preparation: Lipids can be dissolved or distorted during tissue processing, requiring careful handling and preparation. Specificity: Some lipid markers may stain non-lipid components, leading to potential misinterpretation of results. Quantification: Accurate quantification of lipid content can be difficult due to variations in staining intensity and background interference.
