For example, mice are highly resistant to the hepatocarcinogenic effects of the fungal toxin aflatoxin B1. , 1974). com 2996R_ch02_023-028 26 4/11/01 9:38 AM Page 26 UNIT 1 GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF TOXICOLOGY suppressor gene (the Rb gene) (Wiman, 1993). Individuals with one mutated copy of the Rb gene and one normal copy are not destined to acquire the disease (as are those with two copies of the mutated gene), although their chance of acquiring it is much greater than that of persons with two normal Rb genes.
As our understanding of the human genome increases, more “susceptibility” genes will be discovered, and it is likely that the etiology of many chronic diseases will be shown to be related to a combination of genetics and environment. Simple blood tests may ultimately be developed that allow an individual to learn whether he or she may be particularly susceptible to specific drugs or environmental pollutants. Although the public health significance of this type of information could be immense, the disclosure of such information raises many important ethical and legal issues that must be addressed before wide use of such tests.
However, the use of the median effective and median lethal doses is not without disadvantages, because median doses tell nothing about the slopes of the dose–response curves for therapeutic and toxic effects. Margins of Safety and Exposure One way to overcome this deficiency is to use the ED99 for the desired effect and the LD1 for the undesired effect. These parameters are used in the calculation of the margin of safety: Margin of safety ϭ LD1/ED99 The quantitative comparisons described above have been used mainly after a single administration of chemicals.
