Abstract:
With the ever-increasing call to reduce self-imposed regulatory and administrative burden in the animal research oversight process, knowledge of the regulations and a desire to streamline policies and procedures are needed to affect a change in culture. In this opinion piece, we provide details on why institutionally imposed regulatory burden can arise.

Toxicity tests in animals are grounded on two main assumptions: first, the effects observed in laboratory animals can be extrapolated to humans, especially when adjusted for body surface area; second, high-dose exposure in animals is essential to identify potential human hazards from lower doses. This is based on the quantal dose-response concept, which faces the challenge of extrapolating results from relatively few test animals to much larger human populations. For example, a 0.01% incidence...
