MARKET 1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Botulinum Toxin, Phytoestrogens, Mcf-7
Document Summary
Lecture objectives: dose-response, routes of exposure, delivery of toxicant, reactions with biological targets and the consequences. Dose-response l n o i t a u p o p f o e s n o p s e. 10 n o i t l a u p o p f o e s n o p s e. Log dose or concentration the change in effect on an organism caused by differing levels of exposure (or doses) to a stressor (usually a chemical) after a certain exposure time. This may apply to individuals (e. g. : a small amount has no significant effect, a large amount is fatal), or to populations (e. g. : how many people or organisms are affected at different levels of exposure). Studying dose response, and developing dose response models, is central to determining safe" and hazardous" levels and dosages for drugs, potential.
