Description
Animal models are essential for unravelling basic aspects of mammalian reproduction and for preclinical safety testing of compounds intended for clinical use. From the disatrous experience with thalidomide in the sixties it became clear that for extrapolation to the human the choice of the animal model is critical, and nonhuman primates are being used since then in experimental studies on reproductive physiology and toxicology. This book compiles contributions on selected topics of reproductive physiology and toxicology written by internationally recognized experts in an attempt to address the role and usefulness of nonhuman primates as model systems for human reproduction.
