What are the Challenges in Subacute and Subchronic Testing?
Despite their importance, these tests face certain challenges:
Ethical Concerns: The use of animals in testing raises ethical issues, prompting the development of alternative methods such as in vitro assays and computational models. Extrapolation to Humans: Differences in metabolism and physiology between test animals and humans can complicate risk assessments. Resource Intensive: These studies require significant time and financial resources, which can be a barrier for extensive testing.
