Animal Testing, Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics

Conducting all animal experiments on mice, rats, rabbits, hamsters, monkeys, piglets, zebrafish, worms, flies

animal models

Development of animal models for various conditions, including multiple sclerosis (MS), type 1 and type 2 diabetes, anxiety, depression, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, breast cancer, colon cancer, thyroid cancer, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, drug and alcohol addiction, autism, pain disorders, viral and bacterial infections, liver fibrosis, fatty liver disease, kidney failure, azoospermia, gut microbiome alterations, ulcers, atherosclerosis, and osteoporosis, among others.

Litter Mouse Test

Conducting experiments on pregnant animals, infants, children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly.

Behavioral Study

Evaluation of Pharmacological Trials, Behavioral Interventions, and Exercise-Based Therapies

Sexual behavior 

Assessing behaviors related to sexual activity, stress response, anxiety, depression, memory and learning capacities, aggression, motor skills, and maternal care.

MEDICATION THERAPY

Administering various drugs into distinct regions of the body (muscular, peritoneal, subcutaneous) and specific areas of the brain, guided by the Paxinus Atlas.

Toxicology Study

Preclinical toxicology studies are conducted before phase I trials of novel therapeutics to determine a safe starting dose for clinical use and to identify potential human toxicities.

Cytology 

The various cytology methods are most effective when all four stages of the cell cycle must be identified.

Microbiological Testing

Microbiological assessment of the health status of laboratory rats and mice involves evaluating representative sample groups from specific colonies against a defined list of disease-causing agents. This process aims to determine the overall health status of the source colony.

Histopathological Examination

A repeated and single-dose toxicity study will be conducted to evaluate the toxicity of the selected drugs and vaccine. In this study, selected animals will receive gavage or injection at predetermined intervals and will be compared to a control group.

Key assessments will include morbidity/mortality rates, clinical examinations, body weight measurements, food consumption, and tissue pathology evaluations. Organs and tissues (including the brain, lungs, kidneys, heart, liver, adrenal glands, male and female reproductive systems, spleen, small intestine, and colon) will be weighed and examined histopathologically.

Tissues from all groups will be assessed for necrosis, apoptosis, and inflammation. Individual and overall tissue damage scores will be calculated and analyzed using GraphPad software.

Biochemical Analysis

Biochemical studies will assess the levels of key blood factors, liver enzymes, seroconversion, and serological markers.

MOLECULAR TESTING

All tests concerning the genetic material of live attenuated vaccines—including viral shedding, residual genetic material in tissues, genetic alterations in animals, and genotoxicity—will be conducted at this stage.
