It addresses the basic issues concerned with the practice of experimental toxicology and discusses in detail the following topics: experimental design; biochemical issues; animal husbandry; species differences; immunological issues; carcinogenesis; reproductive approaches; statistics; genetics; in vitro and molecular approaches; risk assessment; information resources; aspects of legislation; good laboratory practice; and laboratory design. The book has been updated and revised to reflect the many changes that have taken place since the first edition was published five years ago and this 2nd Edition gives special attention to the extensive changes that have taken place in the areas of molecular, genetic and reproductive toxicology and in the knowledge regarding the multiplicity of enzymes involved in foreign compound metab\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFront matter;\tContributors;\tContents;\tIntroduction to experimental toxicology;\tEffects of physical form, route, and species;\tInfluence of animal species, strain, age, hormonal, and nutritional status;\tExperimental design;\tThe biochemical principles of toxicology;\tAnimal husbandry;\tInhalation toxicology;\tHistopathology in safety evaluation;\tThe metabolism and dispostion of xenobiotics;\tTheory and practice in metabolic studies;\tImmunotoxicologyùConceptual problems;\tPerspectivesù the evaluation of reproductive toxicity and teratogenicity;\tGenetic toxicology;\tMolecular toxicology;\tTesting for carcinogenicity;\tIn vitro methods for teratology testing;\tAssessing chemical injury to the reproductive system;\tStatistics;\tRisk assessment of chemicals;\tEpidemiology;\tInformation and consultancy services in toxicology;\tRegulations and advisory requirements in relation to food;\tThe influence of a growing environmental awareness on laboratory design;\tGood laboratory practice;\tEthics in experiments on animals;\tIndex","brand":"Royal Society of Chemistry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038849040727,"sku":"9780851864617","price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780851864617.jpg?v=1750941671","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/experimental-toxicology-9780851864617","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
