Research Insight: Toxicology

Abstract

Toxicology is an apprehensive study of the antagonistic effects of chemicals on living entities.  It also studies the detrimental special effects of chemical, biological and physical proxies in biological systems that inaugurate the extent of loss in living organisms. The association between dose and its effects on the wide-open entity is of prodigious implication in toxicology. The factors that sway chemical toxicity include dosage, the route of exposure, the species, age, sex and environment. The objective of toxicity valuation is to recognize hostile effects of a substance. Adverse effects depend on two main factors: i) routes of exposure (oral, inhalation, or dermal) and ii) dose (duration and concentration of exposure). To explore dose, substances are verified in both acute and chronic models. Usually, dissimilar sets of experiments are accompanied to govern whether a substance causes cancer and to scrutinize other forms of toxicity.
