Assessment of testicular toxicity in laboratory animals
The currently available methods of assessing testicular toxicity and fertility are discussed. Compounds inducing testicular atrophy mainly affect the seminiferous epithelium, with progressive loss of spermatozoa, spermatids, spermatocytes, and spermatogonia. Quantitative histometric analysis of spermatogenesis, together with hormone assays, could be used to advantage in defining the underlying ...
متن کاملToxicity of polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) in Domestic and laboratory animals.
The composition, environmental fate, and effects of the polybrominated biphenyls (Firemaster BP-6 or FF-1) involved in the accidental contamination of cattle feed in Michigan in 1973 are reviewed. Toxic effects referred to in this report are limited to those occurring in domestic and laboratory animals and include general toxicity, neurobehavioral toxicity, immunotoxicity, reproductive toxicity...
متن کاملProblems in extrapolating toxicity data for laboratory animals to man.
Some of the problems in extrapolating laboratory animal toxicity data to man are considered. The quantitative predictiveness of preclinical studies of anticancer drugs using dogs and monkeys for man has also been examined. The relationship between the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in the dog, monkey, and the more sensitive of the two species and clinical observations are discussed. The effective...
متن کاملAssessment of acute thermal nociception in laboratory animals.
Models of acute nociception using a thermal stimulus are widely employed as screening methods for nociceptive properties of new drug compounds. In this chapter, detailed descriptions for conducting of two of the most commonly used models; the hot plate test and the "Hargreaves test," are described. These models are applicable to both rats and mice and have the advantage of allowing repeated and...
متن کاملDigoxin toxicity: clinical and laboratory assessment.
A prospective study to correlate clinical digoxin toxicity with serum digoxin levels was carried out in 67 patients of whom 24 were clinically toxic and 43 were asymptomatic. The patients were clinically diagnosed to be toxic based on typical cardiac arrhythmias (n = 11) or non-cardiac symptoms (n = 13). Blood samples were collected at least six hours after the last digoxin dose and the sera as...
