� an adverse effect on the structure and/or function of
the nervous system

Purpose of Neurotoxicity Studies
� To look for adverse effect of xenobiotics on NS
� To characterize the scope of nervous system involvement
� To determine dose response kinetics
� including NOAEL

Types of Tissue Fixation
� Immersion fixation
• Quicker
• Cheaper
• More artifacts
• Can be used in most circumstances
� Intravascular perfusion fixation [OECD & EPA]
• Time consuming
• Expensive
• Optimal preservation of tissues
• Decreased artifacts
• esp. neuropil vacuolation and dark neurons
• Helpful in interpreting subtle effects
![Page 9: PATHOLOGY TECHNIQUES IN RAT NEUROTOXICITY STUDIES …ifstp.net/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/STPI_Neurotoxicity_Webinar... · PATHOLOGY TECHNIQUES IN RAT NEUROTOXICITY STUDIES](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052516/5abb85ae7f8b9ad1768ccfbc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Most Common Tissue Fixatives
� 10% neutral buffered formalin
• penetrates tissue quickly
� 4% formaldehyde (aka paraformaldehyde)
• penetrates tissue quickly
� ≤ 4% glutaraldehyde
• penetrates tissue slowly
• enhanced cross-linking of proteins
• better lipid preservation
• myelin in nervous system is lipid
• often preferred for transmission electron microscopy

Most Common Artifacts
Dark Neuron Artifact

Most Common Artifacts
Neuropil Vacuolation

Why Plastic?
� Better quality sections with improved cellular
morphology
� Uniform thin and semi-thin sections can be prepared
� Ability to go as thin as one micron
� No heat and solvent artifacts as seen with paraffin
� Harder embedding provides support to tissue during
sectioning
![Page 15: PATHOLOGY TECHNIQUES IN RAT NEUROTOXICITY STUDIES …ifstp.net/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/STPI_Neurotoxicity_Webinar... · PATHOLOGY TECHNIQUES IN RAT NEUROTOXICITY STUDIES](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022052516/5abb85ae7f8b9ad1768ccfbc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What regulators and experts suggest about plastic?
� Paraffin embedding acceptable for CNS samples (EPA
and OECD)
� Plastic embedding is required for PNS samples (EPA)
� If signs of peripheral neuropathy, plastic-embedded PNS
samples should be examined (OECD)
� Best approach for nerve evaluation
• a nerve cross section
• fixed in osmium
• embedded in plastic
• sectioned very thin
• stained with toluidine blue
***Glycol methacrylate (GMA) is not compatible with osmium
***Osmium is the key to examine myelin
