The Pig as an Experimental Animal Model of Percutaneous Permeation in Man: Qualitative and Quantitative Observations – An Overview

Simon, Gad A., Maibach, Howard I.·2000·Skin Pharmacology and Physiology

Abstract

The pig has been a well-recognized experimental animal in biomedical research for many centuries. Physiological and anatomical similarities between man and pig made this animal a good model for man in many research areas. Pharmacological and toxicological research on the skin is often based on knowledge of skin absorption and percutaneous permeation. Anatomical, physiological and biochemical similarities are cited and various uses of the pig as a model for man in the investigation of skin permeation are reviewed. Further, several isolated organ models are reviewed. The importance of full details of the experimental animal, namely its age, sex, breed, size (weight) and body region, is emphasized.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
