“…Therefore, the safety evaluation of chemicals is mainly dependent on animal testing. While these animal studies provide valuable information on possible hazards of test chemicals, considering the differences between human and rodent physiology, the predictive value of these rodent studies has limitations 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 . In vitro study systems, such as human precision-cut liver slices, hepatic microsomes, or primary hepatocytes, have been widely used and potentially provide useful information for predicting actual human in vivo metabolic profiles of test chemicals 6 .…”
