Why are Biomarkers of Effect Important in Toxicology?
Biomarkers of effect are essential for several reasons: 1. Early Detection: They can indicate early biological changes before clinical symptoms appear. 2. Risk Assessment: They help in quantifying the risk associated with exposure to a specific toxicant. 3. Mechanistic Insight: They provide insights into the mechanisms of action of toxic substances. 4. Intervention Monitoring: They are useful in monitoring the effectiveness of interventions and treatments.
