Atlas of Histology of the Juvenile Rat

Juvenile Rat Histology Atlas

Edited by George A. Parker and Catherine A. Picut, this atlas provides a detailed reference to the histological development of juvenile rats from birth through postnatal day 42. It presents microscopic images and descriptions of major organs commonly examined in nonclinical toxicology studies, helping researchers distinguish normal age-related developmental changes from potential drug- or chemical-induced effects. It is a valuable resource for toxicologic pathologists, toxicologists, and biomedical researchers.

Key Features:

• Covers the histological development of juvenile rats from birth to postnatal day 42
• Includes more than 700 high-resolution microscopic images
• Examines organs commonly evaluated in toxicology and safety assessment studies
• Presents histological features at weekly developmental intervals
• Explains normal postnatal changes in organ structure and tissue maturity
• Helps distinguish developmental features from treatment-related lesions
• Provides detailed figure legends and organ-specific chapter descriptions
• Supports the interpretation of findings in juvenile animal toxicity studies
• Includes access to virtual microscopy resources for closer examination of images
• Designed for toxicologic pathologists, toxicologists, and biomedical researchers
