Here is a list of toxicological tests done on animals: 1. Behavioural Responses (Tests)2. Analytic Tests 3. Functional Tests 4. Potentiation and Synergism 5. Pathological and Histological Examinations 6. Other Toxicity Tests. 1. Behavioural Responses (Tests): The pharmacological response/toxicological response to a drug/toxicant, which manifests itself through changes in the behaviour patterns of the test animal, is known as behavioural [...]
The behavioural tests have been used frequently in pharmacological evaluations of drugs for several years. These tests have only recently been recognized as an essential part of toxicity screening because of belief that behavioural responses of animals have been selected as a measure of toxicity of xenobiotics because of the following reasons: (i) The behaviour of the animals is the [...]
