How Do Regulations Impact Animal Testing in Toxicology?
Regulations play a significant role in guiding animal testing practices. Various countries have established strict guidelines to ensure the ethical treatment of animals in research. In the United States, the Animal Welfare Act and the guidelines from organizations like the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) oversee animal welfare. In Europe, the REACH regulation emphasizes the need to use alternative methods and reduce animal testing.
