Use of mixed-effect models and tolerance limits to evaluate control cynomolgus monkey body weight change and variability during preclinical toxicology studies.

Abstract excerpt

Cynomolgus monkeys are an important and widely used species in preclinical toxicology studies. During the in-life phase of study, body weight effects may be indicative of toxicity; however, trends in body weight and body weight variability are often difficult to interpret due to small sample size and/or inter- and intra-animal variability. The present analysis utilizes mixed-effect modelling, which incorporates...
