OECD 441: Hershberger assay

Assay

Toxicology

The OECD 441: Hershberger Assay in rats is designed to measure the capabilities of androgen-interfering chemicals in rodent populations. Over a 10-day period, drugs are administered orally or subcutaneously to castrated male rats. Following this, five androgen-dependent tissues are weighed during necropsy and weight differences are determined in order to assess the androgen-agonistic or -antagonistic properties of a test substance.

As well as ensuring the highest scientific, ethical and regulatory standards, selection of appropriate animal research models for development research is critical to developing safe and effective treatments, devices and products that protect and save lives. Just as we have ethical committee oversight for human trials, we have ethical committees overseeing all aspects of our global animal care and use programs. All of our core, nonclinical facilities are accredited by AAALAC. Learn more about our commitment to replacing, reusing and refining nonclinical research models.
