Other defense mechanisms are also available. Cells have effective transport systems which pump out foreign chemicals. Our cells are very good at repairing chemically damaged DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid see Chapter 9 for a more detailed discussion of DNA) and even this event is not fatal. Only when the capacity for the cell to repair itself is overwhelmed does disease result. Again, dose is the determining factor. Finally, if all else fails, cells that become carcinogenic often induce an immune response to themselves and are eliminated by this route. When these mechanisms have been exhausted, or, in the case of extreme age, when they have become worn out, disease occurs. [Pg.31]
