Relationship between the Dose-response Curves for Lethality and Severe Effects for Chemical Warfare Nerve Agents
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has developed a categorical logistic regression approach for regressing ordered response categories on one or more factors due to toxicant exposures. This approach can also be used in analyzing chemical warfare agent toxicity. Towards this end, three previous mammalian studies (involving acute inhalation exposures to G-type nerve agents) were reviewed an...
متن کاملDo dose response thresholds exist for genotoxic alkylating agents?
The demonstration and acceptance of dose response thresholds for genotoxins may have substantial implications for the setting of safe exposure levels. Here we test the hypothesis that direct-acting DNA reactive agents may exhibit thresholded dose responses. We examine the potential mechanisms involved in such thresholded responses, particularly in relation to those of alkylating agents. As alky...
متن کاملImplicit dose-response curves.
We develop tools from computational algebraic geometry for the study of steady state features of autonomous polynomial dynamical systems via elimination of variables. In particular, we obtain nontrivial bounds for the steady state concentration of a given species in biochemical reaction networks with mass-action kinetics. This species is understood as the output of the network and we thus bound...
متن کاملThe need for additional alkylating agents and antimetabolites.
The title that was assigned to me is a clear invitation to pontificate. Instead, I will share with you a few modest and not very original thoughts and speculations. These are based on a large literature and a small experience of tilling the soil among certain obscure and unnatural pyrimidines. This engage ment with the rationality of antimetabolites followed an ignoble exodus from the quagmire ...
متن کاملParallel dose-response curves in combination experiments.
A possible experimental design for combination experiments is to compare the dose-response curve of a single agent with the corresponding curve of the same agent using either a fixed amount of a second one or a fixed dose ratio. No interaction is then often defined by a parallel shift of these curves. We have performed a systematic study for various types of dose-response relations both for the...
