Cushings syndrome, light micrograph
Cushings syndrome. Light micrograph of a section through muscle affected by Cushings syndrome, a hormonal condition caused by overproduction of adrenal gland hormones. The muscle fibres (pink) are degenerating. As well as muscle damage (myopathy), symptoms include easy bruising, weight gain, high blood pressure, and diabetes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library depicts a light micrograph of a section through muscle affected by Cushings syndrome. This hormonal condition arises due to the overproduction of adrenal gland hormones, leading to various symptoms and complications. The pink-colored muscle fibers visible in the image are degenerating, highlighting the detrimental effects of this disorder on skeletal muscles. Cushings syndrome is not only characterized by myopathy (muscle damage) but also presents with other distressing manifestations such as easy bruising, weight gain, high blood pressure, and diabetes. These symptoms can significantly impact an individual's overall health and well-being. The intricate details captured in this histopathological image provide valuable insights into the histopathology and degeneration associated with Cushings syndrome. It sheds light on the underlying mechanisms at play within the human body when afflicted by this endocrine disorder. As we delve deeper into understanding diseases like Cushings syndrome through medical advancements, images like these serve as crucial tools for healthcare professionals and researchers alike. They aid in diagnosis, treatment planning, and furthering our knowledge about complex conditions affecting individuals worldwide. Science Photo Library continues to contribute immensely to scientific research by providing exceptional visual resources that bridge the gap between medicine and artistry.
