"Covers all aspects of food safety--science, regulation, and labeling requirements--integrating major developments in the fields of toxicology, analytical chemistry, microbiology, hygiene, and nutrition."

How does dietary restriction affect the physiological and biochemical state of laboratory animals? How will the present conclusions affect further research? What are the implications for human health and safety assessment? These are the main questions asked in this book by leading international researchers. After an initial look at feeding regimens and the diets of laboratory animals, the book elaborates on a variety of age-associated toxicological and pathological issues, including tumour development. The following sections detail the underlying mechanisms which may induce the broad spectrum...
