A Guide to Practical Toxicology: Evaluation, Prediction and Risk,
Second Edition
Book , Date: 22/09/2008
This practical, user-friendly, and informative text surveys basic principles of toxicology. It is an invaluable guide to evaluating toxicity and related data, approaching toxicity testing and interpretation, and understanding the concepts of hazard prediction and risk assessment and management.
A Guide to Practical Toxicology:
• examines how to evaluate various groups of chemicals—pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and agrochemicals
• provides insights on toxicity determination, normality and naturality, prediction, and regulation.
Two all-new chapters cover:
• safety pharmacology
• evaluation of different chemical classes

A Small Dose of Toxicology: The Health Effects of Common Chemicals
Book , Date: 18/02/2004
A Small Dose of Toxicology presents the principles of toxicology by exploring the effects of common chemical agents such as caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. It reviews the fundamentals of dose-response and individual sensitivity in regard to these drugs, and applies this knowledge to environmental contaminates such as lead, arsenic, pesticides, mercury, and radiation.
Designed as self-contained modules to allow for flexibility in the selection of personal or academic material, chapters discuss neurotoxicology, risk assessment, and carcinogenicity with a variety of specific toxic agents.
Exploring current toxicology concerns within a human context, this text discusses how toxicology affects our everyday lives and provides insight into the broader issues of public health and disease prevention.

Adrenal Toxicology
Book , Date: 24/10/2008
Adrenal Toxicology addresses the increased interest in adrenocortical toxicology and fills the need for a resource that makes techniques available to examine adrenal endocrine disruption.
Examining the latest advancements, Adrenal Toxicology reviews the endocrinology, pharmacology, pathology and toxicology of the adrenal gland. This text provides information on various drugs and chemicals that affect adrenocortical function and suggests standardized approaches for in vivo and in vitro assessment. This volume also presents developments in the molecular mechanisms of toxicity to the adrenal cortex and medulla, and considers environmental adrenal endocrine disruption in sentinel species.
Adrenal Toxicology:
• focuses on the uses and limitations of the latest research techniques
• provides an integrated strategy for adrenal toxicology evaluation
• identifies knowledge and data gaps, providing impetus for regulatory consideration

Animal Models in Toxicology, Second Edition
Book , Date: 30/10/2006
Reflecting more than a decade’s worth of changes, Animal Models in Toxicology, Second Edition is a practical guide to the common statistical problems encountered in toxicology and the methodologies that are available to solve them.
The book presents a historical review of the use of animal models and an overview of broad considerations of metabolism and relevance used in toxicology. It makes the case for a range of species not commonly used for safety assessment studies but which may provide useful alternative models for some specific endpoints.
The chapter authors discuss special considerations regarding the evaluation and interpretation of the clinical pathology of the eight major model species, as well as how to select a model species and how to extrapolate the results to humans. They detail potential pitfalls and situations that cause either human or model to be significantly more sensitive than the other or totally irrelevant to each other.

Biological Concepts and Techniques in Toxicology: An Integrated Approach
Book , Date: 06/03/2006
Highlighting advances in molecular biology, mathematical modeling, quantitative risk assessment, and biopharmaceutical development, this reference presents how current scientific applications and methods impact and revolutionize mainstream toxicological research. With findings from disciplines that will impact the future of toxicology, including proteomics, toxicogenomics, and metabonomics, this guide explores toxicological issues of particular world interest, such as toxicity of nanomaterials, military jet fuels, and genetically-modified foods.
Topics include:
• new methods and concepts that may have a major impact on the field of toxicology in the future
• hormesis and its impact on the interpretation of dose-response relationships
• how biological data and test systems are applied to toxicological practices
• current applications in nanomaterials, forensics, and pharmaceutics
• developments in toxicokinetics

Biomarkers
Journal
Biomarkers brings together all aspects of the rapidly growing field of biomarker research, encompassing their various uses and applications in one essential source. The journal has enlarged its scope to include the expanding area of biomarkers of disease and now intends to include evidence-based pharmacodynamic markers. Biomarkers, now more than ever, provides a vital forum for the exchange of ideas and techniques in all areas of biomarker research. High quality papers in four main areas are accepted and manuscripts describing novel biomarkers and their subsequent validation are especially encouraged: Biomarkers of disease; Biomarkers of exposure; Biomarkers of response; Biomarkers of susceptibility.
