Hormesis in Carcinogenicity of Non-genotoxic Carcinogens
Recently the idea of hormesis, a biphasic dose-response relationship in which a chemical exerts opposite effects dependent on the dose, has attracted interest in the field of carcinogenesis. With non-genotoxic agents there is considerable experimental evidence in support of hormesis and the present review highlights current knowledge of doseresponse effects. In particular, several in vivo studi...
متن کاملDetoxication strategy of epoxide hydrolase-the basis for a novel threshold for definable genotoxic carcinogens.
From our recent work on the three-dimensional structure of epoxide hydrolases we theoretically deduced the likelihood of a two-step catalytic mechanism that we and others have subsequently experimentally confirmed. Analysis of the rate of the two steps by us and by others show that the first step-responsible for removal of the reactive epoxide from the system-works extraordinarily fast (typical...
متن کاملthe effectiveness of strategy-based instruction in teaching english as a second or foreign language: a meta-analysis of experimental studies
a large number of single research studies on the effects of strategy-based instruction (sbi) in teaching english as a foreign or second language has been conducted so far. however, the lack of a comprehensive meta-analysis targeting the effectiveness of english language sbi is observed. moreover, the findings of experimental studies regarding the context of the english language, proficiency lev...
Thinking as Evidence for the Probability of the Existence of a God: An Argument from Unnaturalness for Necessity
The objective of this article is to show that it is justified to assert that the existence of God is plausible, considering the fact that thinking itself is an immediate outcome (effect) of a thinker (cause). This idea may seem evident, but it is in fact challenged by certain claims of cognitive philosophers who aver that our knowledge of necessity and causation is, i...
متن کاملImplications of not detecting non-genotoxic carcinogens in the absence of carcinogenicity tests under REACH guidelines
Implications of not detecting non-genotoxic carcinogens in the absence of carcinogenicity tests under REACH guidelines Research performed by the RIVM has demonstrated that the European legislation does not comply with a specific small group of carcinogens, the so-called non-genotoxic carcinogens, which induce cancer via a mechanism other than the introduction of DNA damage. In view of these fin...
