It is used to show gliosis in the central nervous system, tumours of skeletal muscles, and fibrin deposits in lesions. Muscle is stained blue-black to dark brown, connective tissue is pale orange-pink to brownish red, fibrin and neuroglia stain deep blue, coarse elastic fibers show as purple, and bone and cartilage obtain yellowish to brownish ...
Hematoxylin staining shown as "basophilic" at top, seen with dual staining with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Haematoxylin stain is commonly followed (or counterstained) with another histologic stain, eosin. [10] [11] [1] When paired, this staining procedure is known as H&E staining, and is one of the most commonly used combinations in histology.
The H&E staining procedure is the principal stain in histology [3] [7] [2] [5] in part because it can be done quickly, [7] is not expensive, and stains tissues in such a way that a considerable amount of microscopic anatomy [9] [10] is revealed, [7] [5] [4] and can be used to diagnose a wide range of histopathologic conditions.

Before iron deficiency anemia sets in, “the body will do everything it can to retain the right number of red blood cells. So, it will deplete the storage iron before it depletes the red blood ...
Myoglobin is a sensitive marker for muscle injury, making it a potential marker for heart attack in patients with chest pain. [33] However, elevated myoglobin has low specificity for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and thus CK-MB , cardiac troponin , ECG , and clinical signs should be taken into account to make the diagnosis.
Myostatin is a myokine that is produced and released by myocytes and acts on muscle cells to inhibit muscle growth. [7] Myostatin is a secreted growth differentiation factor that is a member of the TGF beta protein family. [8] [9] Myostatin is assembled and produced in skeletal muscle before it is released into the blood stream. [10]

Iron deficiency, or sideropenia, is the state in which a body lacks enough iron to supply its needs. Iron is present in all cells in the human body and has several vital functions, such as carrying oxygen to the tissues from the lungs as a key component of the hemoglobin protein, acting as a transport medium for electrons within the cells in the form of cytochromes, and facilitating oxygen ...
