Teratogenic Agents and Teratogenicity | Toxicity Tests | Toxicology

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Causes of Teratogenicity 2. Stage Sensitivity for Teratogenicity 3. Mode of Action of Teratogens 4. Administration of Teratogenic Agent 5. Evaluation of Teratogenic Effects. Causes of Teratogenicity: The toxicants which cause teratogenesis are known as teratogenic agents. A gestating-embryo exhibits great dynamicity of the living cells. The embryonic cells multiply and differentiate [...]

These tests have only recently been recognized as an essential part of toxicity screening because of belief that behavioural responses of animals have been selected as a measure of toxicity of xenobiotics because of the following reasons: (i) The behaviour of the animals is the [...]
