What Histological Changes Can Be Observed with Abnormal Lipid Levels?
Abnormal lipid levels can lead to several histological changes: - Atherosclerosis: Characterized by the buildup of LDL cholesterol in arterial walls, forming plaques that can be observed in tissue sections. - Fatty Liver Disease: Accumulation of triglycerides in liver cells, leading to visible lipid droplets. - Xanthomas: Lipid deposits in the skin and tendons, often associated with high cholesterol levels.
