Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of the first edition of Introduction to Toxicology , toxicology has become a more mature science, the number of undergraduate and postgraduate courses has increased and thus the need for a regularly updated introductory text has become more pressing. This third edition caters for this need in a clear and easy-to-read style, featuring: * Up-to-the-minute information * Relevant toxicological examples that reinforce principles * End-of-chapter essay questions * New and redrawn illustrations * Glossary of terms * Extensively revised bibliography The fundamental principles of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion are described in the introductory chapters, as are the types of exposure and response. In subsequent chapters these are clarified with the use of carefully chosen examples. Among the topics considered are the potential adverse effects of drugs, pesticides, food additives and industrial chemicals.

Download or read book Introduction to Biochemical Toxicology written by Ernest Hodgson and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 2001-02-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Principles of Genetic Toxicology written by D. Brusick and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1987-11-30 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of genetic toxicology has gone through remarkable development in the seven years since the appearance of the first edition of Principles of Genetic Toxicology. One branch of toxicology research, chemical mutagenesis, has been elucidated and expanded as a result of increased effort, testing, and the sharing of data. This expansion has occurred not only in the industrialized countries, but also in countries that are comparatively less advanced in scientific implementation. These developing countries have taken advan tage of the basic practical methods that were so well described in the first edition of this work. It is significant to note how many centers have been established throughout the world and are now studying the basic concepts and applying them to practical problems such as the detection of genetic effects caused by exposure to chemicals. In fact, there are now toxicology training centers in twelve countries. Genetic toxicology, in addition to being investigated as a science unto itself, has been taught to people in the applied fields so that these techniques may be put to use in solving other biological problems. For these reasons, it is most useful to have an update of the basic methods and their development. Dr. Brusick should be congratulated for doing such an excellent job of assembling a text that will be worthwhile to any researcher who is interested in the principles of genetic toxicology.
