The U.S. National Research Council (NRC) report on "Toxicity Testing in the 21st century" calls for a fundamental shift in the way that chemicals are tested for human health effects and evaluated in risk assessments. The new approach would move toward in vitro methods, typically using human cells in a high-throughput context. The in vitro methods would be designed to detect significant perturba...

To determine if energy or phosphorus status would affect postpartum reproductive performance, we assigned primiparous heifers, six per group, to either high (135% NRC) or low (85% NRC) energy, and high (138% NRC) or low (98% NRC) phosphorus in a 2 x 2 factorial design. Treatments were continued from parturition through 84 days postpartum, after which standard diets were fed. The entire experime...
