How are Reproductive Toxicants Identified and Tested?
Reproductive toxicants are identified through a combination of animal studies, in vitro assays, and epidemiological research in humans. Testing often involves exposing animals to various doses of a substance and observing any adverse effects on reproductive health. These studies help in understanding potential risks and guiding safety standards. Additionally, advanced techniques such as genomic and proteomic analyses provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of reproductive toxicity.
