Case Studies Using Advanced Quantitative Methods of Stereology and Image Analysis in Toxicologic Pathology

The first 30-minute presentation will demonstrate how the application of stereological methods to the gut can provide unbiased quantitative measures of this complex organ in normal and gastric bypass operated rats. The second 30-minute presentation will demonstrate how the use of image analysis can provide quantitative data on changes of beta-cell mass, replication and amyloid deposition in pancreatic islets.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn how gastric surgery leads to massive alterations in the gut epithelium, including endocrine L-cells.
  • Learn how stereological results can affect research.
  • Discuss the need for proper development of immunohistochemistry and image analysis protocol including but not limited to sampling of tissues, antibody specificity and selection of detection systems.
  • Discussion on the use of image analysis to provide quantitative data on function of pancreatic islets.

Lunch will be provided. Limited seating so please register to attend. You must also be registered for the STP Annual Symposium.
