Abstract:
Experimental researches in Pharmacology represent the first step in drug development. Experiments are mostly performed on experimental animals while causing disorders imitating human diseases. Using animal models it is possible to explore the properties of applied substances and to record achieved results. In order to accomplish high-quality results that are comparable with those obtained in other centers, it is necessary to comply with regulations and procedures of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), including the instructions concerning experimental use of the animals and organization of the laboratory researches.
