Abstract excerpt
The debate on thresholds in dose-response relationships for chemical carcinogenesis concentrates on the question of mechanisms of action that come into play only at dose levels that overwhelm compensatory control mechanism, such as DNA repair or regulation of cell proliferation and death. In this article, individual susceptibility differences are introduced. It is postulated that one single threshold dose cannot...
