Opis

An examination of the popular and expanding field of reproductive toxicology, this expanded third edition presents cutting-edge scientific developments in this constantly evolving discipline. Topics include epigenetic mechanisms and omics; the role of genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics in human reproduction; and new guidelines with respect to research applications in the field. The contributors are experienced regulatory agency and clinical research organization representatives who currently utilize the new techniques discussed in the text and continue to revolutionize reproductive toxicology research.
