The Effect of Aging on Skin Cells in Domestic Rabbits, a Histological Study: Oryctolagus Cunaculus Domesticus

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the histological changes in the skin of local rabbits with age for connective tissue. A group of histological staining techniques was used to examine skin samples taken from rabbits at different age stages. These techniques include routine staining (Harris’s Hematoxylin and Alcoholic Eosin). Through these techniques, we were able to analyze and quantify changes in skin composition, including the dermis, epidermis, and subcutaneous adipose tissue. The results showed that aging leads to clear changes in the composition of the skin, The study also revealed changes in the structure of blood vessels in the skin, as an increase in the size and number of blood vessels was observed in aging skin tissue. These changes reflect the effects of aging on skin circulation, which may affect skin tissue nutrition and its ability to regenerate.
