Hormesis chemical systems

Hormesis in Drug-Drug Interactions (DDIs) and Mixed Chemical Systems 93... [Pg.77]

It seems that large numbers of chemicals, in equally large numbers of test systems, from mammals to insects, vertebrates to invertebrates, microorganisms to plants, exhibit hormetic dose-response relationships. The relationship is not the same as that described earlier for nutrients, in two ways. First, in the case of hormesis the biological response - the toxicity endpoint - is the same in the protective region and in the region of toxicity (i.e., liver cancer incidence is reduced relative to control incidence over a range of low doses, and then as the NOAEL is exceeded, liver cancer incidence increases above that of controls). This is true hormesis. [Pg.264]
