How Does TD50 Relate to Other Toxicological Parameters?
TD50 is often compared with other parameters such as LD50 (lethal dose for 50% of the population) and ED50 (effective dose for 50% of the population). While LD50 measures the lethality of a substance, TD50 focuses on sub-lethal toxic effects. The difference between ED50 and TD50 helps in understanding the therapeutic window of drugs, indicating the range of doses that provide efficacy without undue toxicity.
