Description
INTRODUCTION Hormesis is defined as "a very low dose of a chemical agent [which] may trigger from an organism the opposite response to a very high dose" (Wikipedia, the free on-line encyclopedia). It is an important dose-response phenomenon that is finally becoming recognized and integrated within the toxicological and biomedical sciences. These developments have been stimulated by the need to better understand the nature of the dose response in the low dose zone, to clarify adaptive mechanisms and how they could be exploited to enhance human health, and the need to follow up and confirm numerous investigations that have unexpectedly observed the hormetic dose-response in biomedical research, some of which have obvious clinical implications.
