Description
Book SynopsisWritten as an advanced text for toxicology students, this book is much more than an introduction and provides in-depth information describing the underlying mechanisms through which toxicants produce their adverse responses.
Links traditional toxicology to modern molecular techniques, important for teaching to graduate courses and professional studies
Uses a didactic approach with basic biological or theoretical background for the methodology presented
Brings together and comprehensively covers a range of dynamic aspects in biochemical and molecular toxicology
Guides student and professional toxicologists in comprehending a broad range of issues, compiled and authored by a diverse group of experts
A good introductory textbook covering the biochemical toxicology of organic substances and the relevant methodology in some detail.... It offers good value for money and can be recommended as a textbook for appropriate courses BTS Newsletter review of the
