Zusatztext ? a welcome update to the 1996 first edition. It is great to see that the new edition retains the highly useful (and extensive) reference list at the end of each chapter. ? Overall! this book represents a valuable addition to the toxicologist's armory! both for those new in the field and those a bit longer in the tooth!-Paul Baldrick! in The British Toxicology Society Newsletter! Winter 2009! Issue 35Praise for the Previous Edition:? a very well written and concise book! which ought to reach a much wider audience than toxicologists. It addresses normal and abnormal clinical chemistry of laboratory animals and is thus of relevance to the large segment of the biomedical research community making use of animal models in their research.-Jann Hau! Chair of Comparative Medicine and Head of the Department of Experimental Medicine! University of Copenhagen and State Hospital? produced to a high standard! consistent style! and of clear relevance to toxicology ?. a timely! practical! and useful addition to the literature. It is highly recommended both for toxicology courses and functional laboratories and will no doubt be regarded as a standard text in the field.-Phillip Harvey! AgrEvo UK Ltd! in The British Toxicology Society Newsletter! December 1996 Klappentext Focuses on information of relevance to experimental toxicology as separate from human medicine. This work presents background information on the selection and application of biochemical tests in safety assessment studies. It also covers pre-analytical variables! regulatory requirements! and statistical approaches.
