Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology: A Practical Approach, Third Edition
Editat de Ronald D Hooden Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 dec 2011
The study of hazard and risk associated with exposure to toxicants during prenatal development has been expanded in recent years to include effects on development until the time of puberty. Concern over the adverse effects of chemical or physical agents on the reproductive processes of both sexes has increased, and progress has been made in identifying the causes and mechanisms eliciting congenital defects and determining the genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors involved. This book provides up-to-date guidance on the use and interpretation of the newest research techniques in developmental and reproductive toxicology, as well as the more traditional approaches.
Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology, Third Edition:
- Contains valuable insights gained from hands-on experience, together with a critical evaluation of current testing strategies.
- Includes guidance for the design, conduct, and interpretation of tests in all areas of developmental and reproductive toxicity.
- Contains reprinted guidelines from major regulatory agencies, as well as terminology for description of developmental abnormalities in laboratory animals, for easy reference.
- Provides guidance for planning and conducting preclinical toxicity studies and follow-up studies, and interpreting their results in a regulatory environment.

Recenzii
"This is a great foundation book for trainees pursuing research in reproductive toxicology and serves as the perfect reference during the course of study. The field of reproductive toxicology is changing and this update is critical and mostly timely."
—Doody's Review Service
"It is one of the most comprehensive and definitive publications in the field and should be a mandatory addition to the libraries of students, researchers, and regulators alike in the field of reproductive and developmental toxicology."

Descriere
A practical guide to developmental and reproductive toxicology in a regulatory environment, the third edition of this volume provides a comprehensive update of current chapters to reflect recent changes in the field. The book examines the use and interpretation of the newest research techniques, such as functional genomics and proteomics, as well as traditional approaches. It also discusses conducting tests and interpreting data in areas such as nonclinical juvenile toxicity testing, endocrine modulation, and toxicokinetics.
