| Abstract |
Following a summary of human reproductive physiology, this criteria document describes the in vitro and in vivo methods used for evaluating the sexual function, fertility and developmental effects of toxic substances, and proposes strategies for evaluating the risk of reproductive toxicity. It also presents recommendations in the form of 13 points aimed at improving basic understanding of reproductive and developmental toxicity. |
