What Factors Affect Data Reliability in Toxicology Studies?
Several factors influence the reliability of data in toxicology studies. These include the study design, sample size, analytical methods, and data interpretation. The use of validated methods, appropriate controls, and adherence to regulatory guidelines all contribute to enhancing data reliability. Moreover, the source of data, whether from in vitro, in vivo, or epidemiological studies, can also affect reliability due to inherent limitations and variability.
