What Histological Techniques are Used to Study Redox Reactions?
Several advanced techniques are employed in histology to study redox reactions, including:
Immunohistochemistry (IHC): This technique uses antibodies to detect specific redox-related proteins and enzymes in tissue sections. Fluorescence microscopy: Fluorescent probes can be used to visualize ROS and other redox-active molecules in tissues. Electron microscopy: This provides ultrastructural details of cellular changes due to oxidative stress. Western blotting: Although not strictly a histological technique, it is used in conjunction with histological studies to quantify redox-related proteins.
