Animal Research Benefits Us
Produced by Understanding Animal Research, this information leaflet looks at examples of how animal research has led to the understanding of medical conditions and the development of new therapies.
Animal research has been important in the development of many major medical advances. Studies that use animals have played a role in the prevention or treatment of conditions as diverse as tuberculosis, diabetes, polio, Parkinson’s disease, muscular dystrophy and high blood pressure.
The leaflet is useful as information for teachers and also as background or research information for students.
