Animal resources

The examples discussed above suggest useful directions for future research involving trace element analysis of bones. Specifically, the effects of developmental age and other factors (e.g., porosity, mineralization) that may lead to differences in surface area of specimens should be considered. Diage-netic effects should be monitored by analysis of a suite of elements whose abundances are not controlled by dietary abundances (e.g., Mn, Zr, etc.). Finally, although alkaline elements such as Sr and Ba are most likely to reflect the Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca levels of the diet, omnivores such as humans are likely to obtain the majority of these elements from plants rather than from animals. Therefore for accmate diet reconstruction it is necessary to determine the total abundance of Ca as and the Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca ratios of the plant and animal resources that were potential dietary staples. The effects of culinary practices on elemental abundances (Burton and Wright 1995 Katzenberg et al. this volume) must also be evaluated.

The U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) also has an Animal Welfare Policy that applies to all NIH-funded projects involving animals. The NIH requires that the institutions follow the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, prepared by the Institute for Laboratory Animal Resources of the National Research Council. Any institution that receives funding from the PHS is required by law to comply with the Guide, or else it will lose funding. 

A large number of biologically active molecules are obtained from naturally occurring plants and animal resources. The advances in biotechnology in the past several decades enable the production of many desired compounds under controlled conditions using engineered microorganisms and cells from animals and plants. The recovery of desired products from various sources... 

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services publishes the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, Publication No. (NIH) 78-23.

In pharmaceutical research there is a need for cell-based assays that have some predictive capability with regard to tissue permeability properties of lead compounds. These assays are generally used after high-throughput screening procedures have identified compounds with the desired pharmacological properties. Cell-based assays can be used to identify those leads that have the desired properties with regard to tissue permeability, and then animal models may be used as a final screen. This approach is not only more cost-effective but also minimizes the use of animal resources. 

Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Washington, DC National Academy Press, 1996. URL http //oacu.od. nih.gOv/regs/guide/guidel.htm intro. These guidelines, originally published in 1963, were revised by the Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources, the Commission on Life Sciences, and the National Research Council. They are the accepted industry standard for the humane use and treatment of laboratory animals. 

Thus, glycerol, the most important starter for the synthesis of polyether polyols for flexible PU foams and for polyether for rigid foams is produced by the hydrolysis of natural triglycerides (esters of glycerol with fatty acids with C6 to C22 carbon atoms), from vegetable or animal resources (reaction 17.1) [1]. Large quantities of glycerol appear in bio-diesel production, by transesterification of natural oils with methanol.

Marine biomass is also a very interesting source of precursors to materials, both in terms of vegetable and animal resources. Polysaccharides derived from certain algae, like alginates, have been exploited for a long time as polyelectrolyte materials. This family of polymers are included in the contents of Chapter 24.

Typically, two to three rabbits are simultaneously injected to ensure successful antibody production. After receiving the rabbits, permit them to acclimate for 1 wk before drawing the preimmune sample. The antigen emulsion may be injected intradermally into multiple (20-30) sites. It is most economical and efficient to exsanguinate the rabbit when a high titer of antibody is attained. Adherence to institutional guidelines and consultation with your animal-resource department will assist you in this phase of production. It may be...
