What Histological Changes Occur Due to Nutrient Depletion?
Histological changes due to nutrient depletion vary depending on the nutrient and the affected tissue. Common histological findings include:
Atrophy: Muscle fibers and organ tissues shrink due to protein malnutrition. Fatty Change: Accumulation of fat within cells, often seen in liver tissues with protein deficiency. Inflammation: Chronic inflammation can result from deficiencies in essential fatty acids or antioxidants like Vitamin E. Necrosis: Cell death due to severe nutrient deprivation, observable in various tissues.
