How does Electroretinography relate to Toxicology?
In toxicology, ERG is used to evaluate the potential effects of chemical substances on the retina. Exposure to certain neurotoxic substances, such as heavy metals or certain pharmaceuticals, can lead to retinal damage. By using ERG, toxicologists can monitor changes in retinal function over time and assess the severity of the damage. This is crucial for identifying the toxic potential of substances and for setting safety standards.
