RESUMO
Oil red O staining is effective in detection and quantification of neutral lipid droplets in tissues such as the liver. However, converting images into testable data using ImageJ can be time-consuming and is prone to inaccuracy or bias. We describe a protocol for automated qualitative measurement of lipid droplets in the bird liver using a batch processing macro script. We explain steps for extracting tissue, cryosectioning, staining, and imaging, followed by script generation for quantification of lipid in the images.
