The science of toxicology has progressed considerably since Molecular Toxicology was first published in 1997. New advances in biochemical and molecular biological experimental techniques have helped researchers understand the precise effects of toxins and foreign compounds on living things atthe molecular, cellular, and organismal levels. Breakthrough research has recently been completed illuminating the human genome and the role of enzymes in toxic biochemical reaction mechanisms. Toxicology now covers drug metabolism and design, carcinogenesis, programmed cell death, and DNA repair,among other

Molecular toxicology is on the way to setting a new standard in toxic risk assessment, with the powerful help of concepts and methods developed in the fields of molecular and cellular biology. The methods of molecular toxicology are endowed with qualities not always secured in more traditional approaches to toxicity assessment. These methods are easily standardized, reliable, reproducible and require only tiny amounts of the xenobiotic. They are much simpler, faster and less costly than current tests on animals and

Organophosphate (OP) exposure continues to be a threat to both civilian and military personnel. Sensitive and specific methods for the detection and remediation are needed not only for public health but also for farmers who are exposed to OPs frequently. Although detection approaches based on a mass spectrometry are sensitive and reliable, they require expensive equipment and expert operators. In addition, instrumentation such as mass spectrometer cannot be easily deployed in the field. Attempts to make point-of-care approaches have been

Aromatic amines (also known as arylamines) form a very important class of xenobiotics. The arylamine substructure is found in pesticides, carcinogens, and drugs. It is therefore unsurprising that arylamine drugs possess varying degrees of toxicity which ultimately depend on dose, exposure, and the particular genetic makeup of the individual. Arylamines have been shown to undergo oxidation reactions to produce reactive metabolites. This chapter will focus on a subset of reactive metabolites which are the arylamine-free radical metabolites. A detailed discussion

Written as an advanced text for toxicology students, this book is much more than an introduction and provides in-depth information describing the underlying mechanisms through which toxicants produce their adverse responses. • Links traditional toxicology to modern molecular techniques, important for teaching to graduate courses and professional studies • Uses a didactic approach with basic biological or theoretical background for the methodology presented • Brings together and comprehensively covers a range of dynamic aspects in biochemical and molecular toxicology • Guides student and professional

With the recent rapid developments in drug discovery, including advances in both drug design and combinatorial chemistry, toxicology is becoming an increasingly important proactive tool. In addition to new compound testing, toxicity studies can also shed light on normal bodily processes through the understanding of adverse ones. Molecular Toxicology is a concise introduction to the subject, taking the reader through the theoretical principles of toxicology followed by specific examples. In the first section, the concepts behind possible mechanisms of toxicity

Volume 14 in the series Comprehensive Toxicology extends and complements the previously published 13-volume set. This volume will be available separately. Toxicology is the study of the nature and actions of chemicals on biological systems. In more primitive times, it really was the study of poisons. However, in the early 1500s, it was apparent to Paracelsus that "the dose differentiates a poison and a remedy". Clearly, the two most important tenets of toxicology were established during that time. The level of

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and estrogen receptors (ERs) are ligand-activated transcription factors and members of the basic helix-loop-helix PER-ARNT-SIM (bHLH-PAS) and nuclear receptor (NR) superfamilies, respectively. The bHLH-PAS and NRs regulate many vital physiological processes including metabolism, circadian rhythm, differentiation, development, and reproduction. However, both receptor families are also associated with numerous human diseases. Reciprocal crosstalk between AHR and ERs is proposed to both positively and negatively impact human health. ERs are the most important targets in the treatment

Salivary nitrate derived from foods is reduced to nitrite and nitric oxide (NO•) by oral bacteria. NO• is transformed into NO2•, N2O3, and ONOOH by chemical reactions, and nitrite is oxidized to NO2• by salivary peroxidase. The formation of reactive nitrogen oxides becomes faster with the decrease in pH of dental plaque from 7 to 5. Reactive nitrogen oxides formed in acidified plaque can activate leukocytes through oxidation, nitration, and nitrosation of free and bacterial proteins in plaque and the gingival
