Any need to revisit the male reproductive toxicity of lead?
T he toxicity of lead has been known for millennia and has served as a template for toxicology studies. According to some 45 000 measurements in European industrial settings spanning smelters, battery manufacturing, and foundries, the average concentration of lead in blood steadily declined from 68 mg/dl in 1970 to 35 mg/dl in 1995. In parallel with this development the introduction of non-lead...

متن کاملPredicting human drug toxicity and safety via animal tests: can any one species predict drug toxicity in any other, and do monkeys help?
Animals are still widely used in drug development and safety tests, despite evidence for their lack of predictive value. In this regard, we recently showed, by producing Likelihood Ratios (LRs) for an extensive data set of over 3,000 drugs with both animal and human data, that the absence of toxicity in animals provides little or virtually no evidential weight that adverse drug reactions will a...
