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.
