Flashcards

Albino mice in Pharmacology

Albino mice are commonly used in pharmacological research for a wide range of experiments.

Why are rabbits used for pyrogen testing?

Rabbits are commonly used for pyrogen testing due to their sensitivity to fever-inducing substances. Their body temperature is highly responsive to pyrogens, making them ideal for detecting these contaminants.

What are guinea pigs used for in pharmacology?

Guinea pigs are widely used for various experimental purposes in pharmacology, including testing the effects of drugs on specific tissues.

Why are genetically modified animals used in pharmacology?

Genetically modified animals play a crucial role in pharmacological experimentation by allowing researchers to study specific genes and their impact on disease development and drug responses. They provide valuable insights into drug efficacy and safety.
