Alternativa djurförsöksmodeller
Alternativ till bruk av djur för forsknings-, försöks- och utbildningsändamål. Alternativen kan innebära minskning av antalet djur som används, ersättande av djur med icke-djurmodeller eller med fylog enetiskt lägrestående djurarter, eller förfining av metoder i syfte att minimera smärta och lidande hos försöksdjuren.
Alternativ till djurförsök
Försöksmetoder som kan användas i stället för djurförsök i biomedicinsk forskning, som t ex utnyttjande av cell- eller vävnadsodling, matematiska modeller osv.

Djurskyddskommitteer
A veterinary medical definition of 'Animal Care and Use Committees' (ACUCs) is a group of experts required by law in many countries to oversee the ethical and humane treatment of animals in research, testing, and education. The committee typically includes veterinarians, scientists, and members from the community who are not affiliated with the institution. Their role is to review and approve animal use protocols, ensure that appropriate care and husbandry are provided, monitor animal welfare, and promote the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) principle in research and education.
Toxicitetstester
"Toxicity testing refers to the scientific study and evaluation of the harmful effects of chemicals or drugs on living organisms, typically performed in a controlled laboratory setting. These tests aim to determine the dose at which a substance becomes toxic, as well as the nature and severity of the adverse effects. The data obtained from toxicity testing is essential for assessing potential health risks associated with exposure to various substances and guiding regulatory decision-making, product development, and safety guidelines."
