What Types of Toxicological Studies are Conducted with Mice?
Mice are involved in various toxicological studies, including acute, sub-chronic, and chronic toxicity tests. Acute toxicity studies assess the effects of a single or short-term dose of a substance, while sub-chronic and chronic studies evaluate the effects of prolonged exposure. Mice are also used in carcinogenicity studies to determine if a substance can cause cancer, as well as in reproductive and developmental toxicity studies to assess impacts on fertility and offspring development.
