What are the Histological Effects of Vitamin Deficiencies?
Vitamin deficiencies can lead to various histological abnormalities. A deficiency in Vitamin C can result in scurvy, which affects the synthesis of collagen. Histologically, this manifests as weakened connective tissues, resulting in symptoms like bleeding gums and delayed wound healing. Similarly, a deficiency in Vitamin E can lead to oxidative damage to cell membranes, particularly affecting erythrocytes and neural tissues.
