Toxicodynamics 1
Toxicodynamics 1 :
(a) Alterations in a biological system resulting from exposure to chemicals. [JHU, 1999: Altweb Glossary]; (b) See: Pharmacodynamics. [Duffus, 2000: Univ. Edinburgh Med School On-line Chemical Safety Glossary] [Note: The terms toxicodynamics and pharmacodynamics describe the same processes; pharmacodynamics was derived in reference to drugs or other substances used for treatment, while toxicodynamics has more recently been used to refer to nonpharmaceutical toxic substances such as environmental pollutants.] [Cf. Pharmacodynamics]
