What are the Main Areas of Focus in Toxicological Research?
The main areas of focus in toxicological research include:
Mechanistic Toxicology: Understanding the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of toxic effects. Pharmacokinetics: Examining how a substance is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted in the body. Descriptive Toxicology: Documenting the toxic effects of various substances. Dose-Response Relationships: Determining the relationship between the dose of a substance and its toxic effects. Toxicogenomics: Investigating how genetic differences influence responses to toxic substances.
