چکیده
As a number of reviews on different aspects of the toxicology of the PCBs have been written recently (1-4) no effort has been made in this report to give a complete outline of the animal toxicology. The material summarized in this report consists predominantly of more recently published information on toxic effects of PCBs in mammals and experimental studies in birds. Since Nelson et al. (3) discussed extensively the toxic effects produced in fish by PCBs, the reader is referred to this and the other reviews cited above for information on toxicity of PCBs in this species. The emphasis of the present review was placed

متن کاملAnimal-free toxicology: the use of human tissue to replace the use of animals - examples from human biomonitoring and human placental transport studies.
Human data on exposure and adverse effects are the most appropriate for human risk assessment, and modern toxicology focuses on human pathway analysis and the development of human biomarkers. Human biomonitoring and human placental transport studies provide necessary information for human risk assessment, in accordance with the legislation on chemical, medicine and food safety. Toxicology studi...
متن کاملToxicology and new social ethics for animals.
The issue of animal treatment has emerged as a major social concern over the past three decades. This ramified in a new ethic for animal treatment that goes beyond concern about cruelty and attempts to eliminate animal pain and suffering, whatever its source. This is evidenced by laws governing animal research in many countries. Insofar as toxicology can entail significant and prolonged animal ...
متن کاملA vision becoming reality.
Non-animal science in toxicology and health research has been progressing for decades, but only now is it being seen widely as advanced science. The emergence of novel human biology-based tools and models, combined with legislative and regulatory change, a 21st century concept for toxicology, continuing failures in the drug pipeline, and systematic critiques of animal models, have created a piv...
متن کاملBiomass smoke exposures: toxicology and animal study design.
The International Biomass Smoke Health Effects (IBSHE) conference was convened in Missoula, MT, to define our current knowledge of smoke exposure and the potential health effects. In an effort to ascertain the relative health effects of an exposure to biomass smoke, numerous studies have utilized either animal or in vitro systems. A wide variety of systems that have been employed ranged from mo...
متن کاملInvestigation on Biochemically Processed Castor Seed Meal in Nutrition and Physiology of Japanese Quails
Native de-oiled and treated castor seed meal was subjected to proximate analysis and quantification of anti-nutrients (phytochemicals). Seed cake was treated by biochemical technique of solid state fermentation with Aspergillus niger and addition of calcium oxide (CaO) to give treated castor seed meal (TCSM). One hundred and twenty Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were fed four (4) ...
