Ovarian Toxicology

This new title in the Target Organ Toxicology Series brings together our current understanding of the effects of environmental chemicals on ovarian function. Beginning with an overview of ovarian physiology, this book looks in turn at the key ovarian target sites and assesses the effects of specific chemicals demonstrated in animal studies and in human epidemiological data. Finally, chapters on ovarian cancer and modeling and testing for ovarian effects round off this volume. With its clear handling of the data and issues, Ovarian Toxicology will be welcomed not only by toxicologists and ovarian physiologists, but also by postgraduate researchers and those in the pharmaceutical and regulatory industries.
