A

lower dosis, repeated over longer period of time with lag time

17
Q

What is Lag time

A

delay between first exposure and negative effect

18
Q

Wat are Chronic effects

A

effects that take longer to develop. Such as cancer & liver failure.

19

A

brains

21
Q

what are the 4 categories of laboratoy animal exposure?

A

Acute: <24u, single dose
sub acute: <1m, repeated dose
sub chronic: 1-2m, 10% life span
chronic: >3m, 80-90% life span

22
Q

Where do Local effects happen

A

occurs at point of contact.

23
Q

Where do Systematic effects happen

A

occurs at a point distant from the original point.

24
Q

Wat is AOP

A

adverse outcome pathway

25
Q

Wat beschrijft AOP

A

Op welk level heeft het effect; cellen, organen etc.

26
Q

What is dose-response?

A

Relationship between dose and effect

27
Q

What is dose

A

amount of exposure to a compound

28
Q

What does dose response determine?

A

The lowest dose at which the induced effect occurs

29
Q

Wat is Dose-response curve

A
  • Op een bepaalde dosis krijg je een effect.
  • Gebruikt bij risk assessment
30
Q

wat is EDx

A

effective dose, bijv. 50%

31
Q

wat is NOAEL?

A

greatest level of dose where no effect was seen

No Observed Adverse Effect Level

32
Q

wat is LOAEL?

A

first level of dose where an effect was seen

Lowest Observed Adverse Effect Level

33
Q

Wat is LD?

A

Lethal Dose

34
Q

What does the Response effect depend on?

A
  • Route
  • External dose
  • Concentration in body
  • Duration exposure
35
Q

What does Habers Law describe?

A

The occurrence and/or the strength of a toxic effect depends on the total exposure

36
Q

What is Habers law?

A

K = CxT
K = constant, C=exposure concentration, t=duration of exposure

37
Q

How can you have Variation in response?

A

Interspecies: tussen verschillende soorten: weight, metabolisme
