Opis

Edited in partnership with the American College of Laboratory Medicine (ACLAM), Loeb and Quimby's Clinical Chemistry of Laboratory Animals, Third Edition is the most comprehensive reference available on in vivo animal studies as a critical part of biomedical research. It covers relevant laboratory animal species, specific organ systems (hepatic, renal, etc.), and important classes of analytes (hormones, lipids, carbohydrates, etc.). The book also addresses additional organs not included in earlier editions such as cardiovascular/pulmonary; gastrointestinal and pancreas; and skeletal. The book concludes with a discussion of the development of novel biomarkers and use of statistical analyses.
