What is the Role of Histology in Understanding Fatty Acid Synthesis?
Histology aids in understanding fatty acid synthesis by allowing visualization of the cellular and tissue structures involved. For example, staining techniques like Oil Red O can highlight lipid droplets within adipocytes, providing a clear picture of lipid accumulation. Similarly, histological examination of liver tissues can reveal the extent of fatty infiltration, common in conditions such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
