Figure 13.4 illustrates some of the factors known to be involved in the development of AD many of the known and putative links between factors are also shown. It should also be noted that the patterns of inter-factor modulation may be either positive or negative. However, it is clear that no single factor or combination of factors can explain all AD cases. It is best to conceptually model AD as a broad end point that can be reached in numerous ways. Similar multi-factorial models have been proposed for schizophrenia and depression (Chapters 11 and 12) and almost certainly underlie every other complex psychobiological concept. 

Enzymes that are involved in steroid hormone biosynthesis or in steroid metabolism are also targets of anti-hormonal therapy. Recently, it was discovered that certain co-factors modulate the signalling of steroid hormone receptors in a tissue-selective fashion. By binding the receptor ligand complex, these co-activators and co-repressors are capable of either activating or repressing transcription, respectively [5j.

Since 1992 the two Italian stations of Rome, urban site (latitude 41.9° N, longitude 12.5° E, altitude 60 m), and Ispra, semi-rural site (latitude 45.8° N, longitude 8.6° E, altitude 240 m), collect regular continuous measurements of spectral UV (290-325 nm) irradiance by means of Brewer Spectrophotometry. The measured data are compared with the output of the STAR model (System for Transfer of Atmospheric Radiation) [1], STAR is a multiple scattering radiative transfer model which considers all atmospheric factors modulating UV radiation at ground (ozone, aerosol, clouds, pollutants, albedo, pressure, temperature, humidity) [2], The model involves combination of a radiative transfer code, an initialisation procedure and an integration scheme.

Structural and Electronic Factors Modulating Biological Activity... 

MFO reactions may be shown schematically by the following equation several factors modulate MFO activity. 

Once a chemical enters the body of animal or human, it undergoes metabolic reaction. A host of factors modulate the reaction rate and the induction of toxicological effects. These factors have been termed intrinsic factors and include animal species, gender, age, nutritional status, pregnancy, other health status, and circadian rhythms. In addition, there are certain extrinsic factors (e.g., physicochemical properties of chemicals, solvent or vehicle, route of exposure, temperature, and humidity) during exposure to chemicals that also influence the effect of a test chemical. We shall discuss these factors in greater detail.
