toksikodünaamikaks
Toksikodünaamikaks, often translated as toxicodynamics, refers to the study of the biochemical and physiological effects of toxicants on living organisms. It encompasses the mechanisms by which a toxic substance interacts with biological systems at the molecular, cellular, and organ levels. This field explores how a toxicant is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted (ADME), and how these processes influence its concentration at the site of action. Understanding toxicodynamics is crucial for determining the dose-response relationship, which describes the correlation between the amount of exposure to a toxicant and the severity of the resulting adverse effects.
Key areas within toxicodynamics include the study of receptor binding, enzyme inhibition or activation, and disruption
