Özet: Elastin is a type of protein consisting of a hydrophobic region where proline, valine and glycine amino acids are densely located and a cross-linking region where alanine amino acids are located, and provide flexibility and mobility to the tissues of vertebrate organisms. Since the damage to the elastin causes many diseases, a lot of research has been done on elastin protein. However, studies on damage to elastin exposed to a toxic substance are limited in the literature. For this purpose, changes in the structure of the elastin protein exposed to Aroclor 1254, one of the important permanent organic pollutants, were examined histopathologically and it was determined that the damage occurred was concentration-dependent.
