REPRODUCTIVE TOXICOLOGY

Drawing from a large number of disciplines, Reproductive Toxicology publishes timely, original research on the influence of chemical and physical agents on reproduction. Written by and for obstetricians, pediatricians, embryologists, teratologists, geneticists, toxicologists, andrologists, and others interested in detecting potential reproductive hazards, the journal is a forum for communication among researchers and practitioners. Articles focus on the application of in vitro, animal and clinical research to the practice of clinical medicine. All aspects of reproduction are within the scope of Reproductive Toxicology, including the formation and maturation of male and female gametes, sexual function, the events surrounding the fusion of gametes and the development of the fertilized ovum, nourishment and transport of the conceptus within the genital tract, implantation, embryogenesis, intrauterine growth, placentation and placental function, parturition, lactation and neonatal survival. Adverse reproductive effects in males will be considered as significant as adverse effects occurring in females. To provide a balanced presentation of approaches, equal emphasis will be given to clinical and animal or in vitro work. Typical end points that will be studied by contributors include infertility, sexual dysfunction, spontaneous abortion, malformations, abnormal histogenesis, stillbirth, intrauterine growth retardation, prematurity, behavioral abnormalities, and perinatal mortality. In addition to original research articles, Reproductive Toxicology also publishes interpretative review articles, editorials, letters, book reviews, and conference announcements. The first section of each issue of the journal is devoted to an in-depth, timely review of research on the effect of particular chemical or physical agents on reproduction. Potential authors are encouraged to contact the Editor-in-Chief before submitting such a review.

《生殖毒理学》借鉴众多学科，及时发表了有关化学和物理因素对生殖影响的原始研究成果。该杂志由产科医生、儿科医生、胚胎学家、畸形学家、遗传学家、毒物学家、雄激素学家以及其他对检测潜在生殖危害感兴趣的人撰写，是研究人员和从业者交流的平台。文章重点介绍了体外、动物和临床研究在临床医学实践中的应用。生殖的各个方面都在生殖毒理学的范围内，包括雄性和雌性配子的形成和成熟、性功能、配子融合周围的事件和受精卵的发育、生殖道内受精卵的营养和运输、植入、胚胎发生、生殖道内受精卵的营养和运输。宫内生长、胎盘形成和胎盘功能、分娩、哺乳和新生儿存活。男性的生殖不良反应与女性的生殖不良反应一样重要。为了提供一个平衡的方法介绍，将同等重视临床和动物或体外工作。贡献者将研究的典型终点包括不孕、性功能障碍、自然流产、畸形、异常组织发生、死胎、宫内生长迟缓、早产、行为异常和围产儿死亡率。除了最初的研究文章外，生殖毒理学还发表解释性评论文章、社论、书信、书评和会议公告。这本杂志每期的第一部分都是对特定化学或物理因素对生殖影响的研究进行深入、及时的回顾。建议潜在作者在提交此类评论前与总编辑联系。
