Abstract

Toxicology recognizes several disciplines such as carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and reproductive toxicity. Reproductive toxicology is concerned with possible effects of substances on the reproductive process, i.e. on sexual organs and its functions, endocrine regulation, fertilization, transport of the fertilized ovum, implantation, and embryonic, foetal and postnatal development, until the end-differentiation of the organs is achieved. Reproductive toxicology is divided into areas related with male and female fertility, and developmental toxicology. Developmental toxicology can be further broken down in prenatal and postnatal toxicology.
