Low-level chemical sensitivity: implications for research and social policy.
There is increasing evidence that human exposure to levels of chemicals once thought to be safe--or presenting insignificant risk--are, in fact, harmful. So-called low-level exposures are now known to be associated with adverse biological effects including cancer, endocrine disruption, and chemical sensitivity. This requires that we change both (1) the way we design research linking chemicals a...
متن کاملIndividual differences in sensitivity to nicotine: implications for genetic research on nicotine dependence.
Recent evidence suggests that cigarette smoking has a heritability index around 53%. While related research on underlying mechanisms also supports the idea that genetic factors contribute to nicotine dependence--as well as to cofactors such as substance use and mood disorders--the nature of the behavioral traits and biological capacity for reinforcement that constitutes vulnerability to nicotin...
متن کاملThe Coevolution of Social Learning and Sensitivity to Changing Environments
A. ere iswidespread agreement that social and individual learning are adaptations to varying environments. However, existing theory assumes that organisms cannot detect changes in the environment and instead adapt to averages. is paper develops the rst analytical model that allows for the simultaneous coevolution of socially learned traditions, reliance on social learning, and signal d...

متن کاملGenetic factors underlying differential blood platelet sensitivity to inhibitors.
Blood platelets are not only the primary defence mechanism involved in physiological hemostasis, but also their disorders constitute a crucial risk factor in arterial thrombosis. As arterial thrombi are composed of predominantly platelets formed under conditions of elevated shear stress at sites of atherosclerotic vascular injury and disturbed blood flow, the prevention of arterial thrombosis h...
