Animal study
* Animal studies are a basic stepping stone of toxicology
  - conclusive on the higher toxicity of dressings containing eugenol
  - much more complex than cell culture
  - valuable in helping identify human carcinogens
  - can produce a false sense of safety
  - confirm the safety of feverfew
  - contribute to the basic understanding of how all living organisms function
  - demonstrate reproductive toxicity at levels to which some people are clearly exposed
  - help show whether a chemical potential human carcinogen
  - hint at ways to treat spinal cord injuries
* Animal studies indicate allopregnanolone can prevent the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal
  - an obvious degradation of the heart muscles
  - montelukast is excreted in breast milk
* Animal studies indicate that aniline causes tumors of the spleen and body cavity
  - benzene has adverse effects on unborn animals
  - mineral intake, especially calcium, reduces insulin resistance
  - monkeys become more violent when fed low-cholesterol diets
  - neurotoxicity is dose-dependent
  - perfluorooctane sulfonate has toxicological properties
  - tetracyclines can cause retardation of fetal skeletal development
* Animal studies prove lutein concentrates in Macula
  - their benefit in arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disease
  - provide the only available information on in utero exposure to leflunomide
* Animal studies show broad protective effects in simulated stroke
  - changes in immune system function
  - damage to developing fetuses and lowered sperm production in males
  - drug passes into milk
* Animal studies show fetal abnormalities and increased risk of abortion
  - growth with injections similar to that with autologous grafts
  - no teratogenicity
  - similar responses with liver toxicity at low exposure levels
* Animal studies show that a detrimental bacterial flora leads to liver cancer and early death
  - blood-sugar instability increases when stress occurs
  - dandelion does have diuretic action
  - glutamine is effective against catabolic stress
  - high doses of methamphetamine damage nerve cells
  - maternal stress during pregnancy affects behavior in offspring
  - sleep is necessary for survival
  - showe no evidence of cancer
* Animal studies suggest actual cell death as the cause
  - possible toxicity for pregnant women
* Animal studies suggest that abacavir readily penetrates into the brain
  - estrogen can protect the brain against stroke
  - flumazenil is an antagonist to zaleplon
  - passionflower extracts can reduce agitation and prolong sleep
  - pyruvate leads to weight loss by increasing the resting metabolic rate
  - statins reduce stroke risk by increasing blood flow to the brain
  - the anticholinergic drug physostigmine improves memory
  - there is adequate oxygenated blood after primary cardiac arrest
  - vitamin E can slow the development of atherosclerosis
  - tend to support the idea that myopia is caused by eyestrain
  - using lead acetate, a closely related chemical, are inconclusive
* Some animal studies suggest that caffeine can have anti-cancer properties.

Bible study
* help youth deal with everyday occurrences.
* is crucial to our spiritual growth and the building of meaningful relationships.
* is the endless quest of learning how to use life
  - food that nourishes a healthy tree of faith
