Reproductive Toxicology

This book, Reproductive and Developmental Toxicology, presents one among the foremost comprehensive and thorough treatments of the complex discipline of toxicological phenomena in reproducing and developing organisms available. the main target is clearly often on human species, which is sort of understandable, but the book also covers other species, from organisms used for toxicology testing to related aspects of wildlife species. The book surveys an outsized number of various chemicals, from pharmaceuticals to environmental pollutants, and various experimental systems in the least levels of biological organization. We anticipate that this book are going to be heavily used as a handbook for critically evaluated information which will be not so easily available from other sources.Although the cynomolgus monkey is that the established NHP model for reproductive and developmental toxicology, there are several advantages to conducting developmental toxicity studies using marmosets. Considerations include specific cross-reactivity—particularly with biologics—and some specific teratogenic risks that are harder to demonstrate in species with just one offspring.
