How Does Epigenetics Influence Toxicological Outcomes?

Epigenetics refers to changes in gene expression that do not involve alterations to the DNA sequence itself. These changes can be induced by environmental factors, including exposure to toxins. Epigenetic modifications can affect how genes are expressed, potentially leading to altered responses to toxic substances. Understanding epigenetic impacts is crucial for comprehending long-term consequences of toxin exposure.
