Abstract excerpt
Recognising toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic variability is important in the risk assessment of chemicals and may help to explain individual differences in susceptibility in exposed populations. This presentation discusses the influence of age, gender, disease and genetics on toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic processes. Neonates have a reduced capacity for metabolism and elimination of xenobiotics that may enhance...
