Chemical test for mammalian feces: collaborative study
Journal - Association of Official Analytical Chemists
|January 1, 1981
Abstract:
A chemical method was developed to determine the presence of mammalian feces in food. The method consisted of the colorimetric determination of alkaline phosphatase and involved the splitting of the phosphate radical and phenolphthalein diphosphate and the resultant color development of phenolphthalein in a basic medium. A collaborative study testing the feces of 22 animals resulted in a 95% correct identification of samples as mammalian feces. The method has been adopted official first action.

Gastrointestinal (GI) diagnostic studies are pivotal in confirming, ruling out, diagnosing, or staging various diseases, including cancers. Following diagnosis, allocating time for discussions with the patient and providing informational resources is crucial. Diagnostic assessments of the GI tract often occur in outpatient settings like endoscopy suites or GI labs. Preparation for these tests may include dietary restrictions, fasting, liquid bowel preparations, laxatives, enemas, and the...
01:23Toxicity Testing in Animals
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...
