When plotted on a graph the shape of the dose response curve is biphasic, the hallmark of hormesis. This groundbreaking book "Hormesis: A Revolution in Biology, Toxicology and Medicine" describes why and how hormesis is a fundamental feature of all living systems and is based on the evolutionary principle of selection for genetic traits that confer the ability to respond adaptively to adverse environmental conditions. Using numerous specific examples the authors explain why knowledge of hormesis is important for our health, our environment, and the future of our planet. Several chapters of the book describe emerging research findings that elucidate the molecular and cellular underpinnings of the biphasic dose response/hormesis. The implications of the tapping of cellular systems that underlie hormesis for the discovery and optimization of new drugs and dietary formulations are described. ..From environmental protection policy to m | 出版日期 | Book 2010 | 关键词 | aging; assessment; biology; cardiovascular disease; cell; cells; environment; environmental protection; evol | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-60761-495-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-62703-851-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-60761-495-1 | copyright | Humana Press 2010 |
