In Vivo Toxicology

In Vivo Toxicology refers to the branch of toxicology that involves studying the effects of harmful substances on living organisms, typically through controlled experiments within a living system, such as animals or humans. This field aims to assess the safety and potential toxicity of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and environmental pollutants by observing how they interact with biological systems in real-time. In vivo studies are crucial for understanding the mechanisms of toxicity, evaluating exposure levels, and determining the overall risk associated with various substances. The findings from in vivo toxicology can inform regulatory decisions, safety assessments, and the development of risk management strategies to protect human health and the environment.
