What are the histological effects of corticosteroids?
Corticosteroids exert significant effects on tissues and cells. They can cause alterations in cell morphology, reduce cellular inflammation, and affect cellular proliferation. For instance, in the liver, corticosteroids can lead to hepatocyte hypertrophy, while in the skin, they may cause thinning of the epidermis and dermal atrophy. These changes can be readily observed in histological sections using various staining techniques.
