Advances in reproductive toxicology.
Research in reproductive toxicology has relied on several animal models as well as on the more difficult-to-perform human studies. In animals, ovarian toxicity is being investigated in more detail, with investigation of characteristics of reversibility. Epidemiology studies using time-to-pregnancy techniques have been useful in identifying potential at-risk populations for further study. Male toxicology research has concentrated on defining normal sperm parameters in experimental animals and in men, particularly when those parameters are evaluated by computer-assisted techniques.
