Abstract There is increasing concern regarding pollutants disrupting the vertebrate thyroid hormone (TH) system, which is crucial for development. Thus, identification of TH system–disrupting chemicals (THSDCs) is an important requirement in the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) testing framework.

ABSTRACT The use of Indigo naturalis in treating inflammatory diseases is clinically restricted by severe adverse events, including pulmonary arterial hypertension and hepatotoxicity. Tryptanthrin, a major indoloquinazoline alkaloid of Indigo naturalis, exhibits potent anti‐inflammatory activity; however, its specific safety profile relative to the ...

Alternative Developmental Toxicity Screening Methods Using Chick Embryo‐Based Models
ABSTRACT Nonclinical developmental toxicity studies are used to investigate the potential toxicities of drugs and chemical candidates on normal embryonic and fetal development during pregnancy, generally using mammalian laboratory animals such as rats and rabbits.

Conceptual foundations for a clarified meaning of the 3Rs principles in animal experimentation
Russell and Burch’s 1959 original definitions of the 3Rs (replacement, reduction and refinement) are widely used today as standards for the ethical use of non-human animals in research, although they have a number of limitations. Authors and institutions

The Principles of the 3Rs apply to animal use in research regardless where the research is conducted. In wildlife research, particularly research on wild birds, 3R implementation lags behind research using laboratory, farm, or pet animals.

Experimentation with Animals: A Key Aspect of the 3Rs. The Genetic Quality [PDF]
The genetic quality of laboratory animals is essential for reproducibility of scientific research. Working with animals of certifiedgenetic quality is still a pending issue in Argentina due to the lack of routine genetic controls, of information on the ...

ABSTRACT Dexamethasone (DEX) is widely used in clinical practice, although it may also cause oxidative stress–related damage in different tissues, including the kidney and male reproductive system. This study investigated DEX‐induced renal and reproductive injury in rats and evaluated the modulatory effect of reduced glutathione on DEX‐associated redox
