Laboratory Animals Book from C.H.I.P.S.

Animal Models in Toxicology
Second Edition
by Shayne C. Gad

Animal Models in Toxicology is a practical guide to the common statistical problems encountered in toxicology and the methodologies that are available to solve them.

Animal Models in Toxicology presents a historical review of the use of animal models and an overview of broad considerations of metabolism and relevance used in toxicology.

Animal Models in Toxicology:

  • Provides tables of normative physiology, pathology, reproductive, clinical laboratory, and metabolism data
  • Presents detailed discussions of husbandry, major diseases, and handling for the major species used in toxicology and experimental biology
  • Contains detailed descriptions and illustrations for dosing, blood collection, and other procedures
  • Reviews current laws and regulations governing animal care and use in major countries
  • Includes extensive appendices of acronyms, regulatory and scientific Web sites, animal suppliers, and a lexicon of terms used in describing clinical signs

Animal Models in Toxicology goes on to make the case for a range of species not commonly used for safety assessment studies but which may provide useful alternative models for some specific endpoints.

Animal Models in Toxicology concludes with an overview of the increasingly complex laws and regulations that govern how laboratory animals are obtained, maintained, and utilized, and an appendix that provides a quick guide to commercial sources of laboratory animals.
