How Do Graded Dose-Response Curves Differ from Quantal Dose-Response Curves?
While graded dose-response curves measure the continuous response of a single biological unit to varying doses, quantal dose-response curves assess the all-or-none response in a population. Quantal responses categorize individuals as either responders or non-responders at each dose level, providing information on the proportion of the population affected by the substance. Both types of curves are complementary and used in different contexts within toxicological studies.
