Hormesis at the National Toxicology Program (NTP): Evidence of Hormetic Dose Responses in NTP Dose-Range Studies.
The National Toxicology Program (NTP) dose-ranging studies typically employ five dosages and a concurrent control and are conducted for 2- and 13-week exposure periods. Because five doses are employed it suggested the possibilities of the occurrence of sub-NOAEL doses in many of these bioassays and of evaluating the occurrence of hormesis within the NTP bioassay. As a result, 59 environmentally...
متن کاملUpdate on national toxicology program (NTP) assays with genetically altered or "transgenic" mice.
The NTP is evaluating several lines of genetically altered mice for possible use in identifying and assessing carcinogens. The NIEHS/NTP programs and progress in this area were recently reviewed by the NTP Board of Scientific Counselors (BSC). A number of comments and concerns were raised. This commentary summarizes and responds to the BSC review and offers some thoughts on future directions fo...

متن کاملtNOX (ENOX2) Target for Chemosensitization-Low-Dose Responses in the Hormetic Concentration Range
An emerging concept of cancer chemotherapy is that of chemosensitization. Most often applied to the treatment of drug-resistance cancers, chemosensitization has utility when such cancers are rendered drug sensitive through treatment with the sensitizing agent. A particularly striking example of chemosensitization is that encountered with the synthetic isoflavene phenoxodiol where patients with ...
متن کاملNTP Update
The use of heat treatment for the removal of non-specific effects in the direct radioimmunoassay of human circulatory CEA has been widely adopted have shown the existence of heat-labile determinants on CEA which may be destroyed by this assay technique. Heat-labile antigens appeared to be shared between CEA isolated from tumour and normal colon whilst the heat-stable antigens appeared to be mor...
