Description

Boorman’s Pathology of the Rat: Reference and Atlas, Second Edition, continues its history as the most comprehensive pathology reference on rat strains for researchers across science and medicine using rat models in the laboratory. It offers readers an added emphasis on the Sprague-Dawley and Wistar rat strains that is consistent with current research across academia, government, and industry.

In addition, the book provides standard diagnostic criteria, basic content on histology, histological changes that result from drug toxicity and neoplasm, pathology terminology, and four-color photographs from the NTP archive and database. With updated references and photographs, as well as coverage of all rat strains, this book is not only the standard in the field, but also an invaluable resource for toxicologists, biologists, and other scientists engaged in regulatory toxicology who must make the transition from pathology results to the promulgation of meaningful regulations.

Key features

  • Contains full, four color photographs from the NTP archive and database and coverage of all rat strains
  • Provides an organ-by-organ and system-by-system approach that presents standard diagnostic criteria and basic content on histology and histological changes
  • Includes comprehensive and detailed background incidence data
  • Presents detailed descriptive content regarding changes in rat models during research

Readership

Veterinary pathologists, toxicologists, toxicologic pathologists, and laboratory animal researchers using the rat model in laboratories across academia, in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, and at regulatory agencies
