Inhaltsangabe

Biochemical and molecular toxicology deal with events that occur at the molecular level when toxic compounds interact with living organisms. Defining these interactions is fundamental to our understanding of toxic processes, both acute and chronic, and is essential for the rational development of new therapies, for the determination of toxic hazards, and for the development of new biocides for agriculture and medicine.

Introduction to Biochemical Toxicology
Third Edition

Over the past several decades, biochemical toxicology has contributed greatly to the advancement of scientific disciplines ranging from medicine and pharmacology to environmental science and industrial hygiene. In its never-ending quest to define the biochemical, cellular, and molecular events occurring when toxicants interact with organisms, biochemical toxicology provides the rational basis for, among other things, our understanding of acute and chronic toxic processes, the development of new therapies, the determination of toxic hazards, and the development of medical and agricultural biocides.

Recent applications of new molecular and cellular techniques have greatly expanded our knowledge of how toxicants produce their adverse effects. As a consequence, the time has come for a substantial revision of Professor Ernest Hodgson's classic reference in the field. This Third Edition now contains updated overview chapters on immunochemical and molecular techniques. It also features entirely new chapters covering such crucial topics as immunotoxicology, cutaneous toxicology, reproductive and developmental toxicology, and molecular epidemiology.
