How does pentosidine affect body weight and adipose tissue histopathology in rats?
Label:chem
Topic
A study aimed to investigate the acute toxicity of pentosidine on adipose tissue in rats by analyzing body weight changes and histopathological alterations.
Answer
Pentosidine exposure significantly inhibited body weight gain in rats in a dose-dependent manner. Histopathological analysis revealed that adipocytes in the high-dose group exhibited remarkable changes in size and shape, with some cells significantly larger than those in the normal diet group. Additionally, cell membranes appeared damaged, and inflammatory cell infiltration was observed. These results indicate that pentosidine exhibits toxicity in adipose tissue, leading to histological alterations and weight changes.
