Following on from the acclaimed first two editions of Principles of Biochemical Toxicology, John Timbrell has expanded the text to include:
- summary sections
- questions and model answers
- thoroughly revised artwork
These features, plus the new easy-to-read format will make biochemical toxicology more accessible to undergraduates and postgraduates coming across the subject for the first time, particularly when undertaking self-directed study.
This comprehensive textbook provides a thorough explanation of dose-response relationships; disposition and metabolism; toxic responses to foreign compounds, and detailed examples to illustrate mechanisms of toxicity. There is also an expanded and updated bibliography, directing the reader to further reading if required.
