In this study, the immunogenetic profiles of two fish populations that differ dramatically in exposure to environmental toxicants and parasite loads are compared. |
To identify these predictive genes, classic toxicants must be analyzed to determine the most appropriate genes that will represent each class of chemical or toxic end-point. |
Final concentrations of these toxicants met World Health Organization guidelines for safe drinking water, Allgood notes. |
However, relatively little is known about toxicological interactions between these toxicants. |
Abnormal interruption of these integrated signaling pathways by food-related and environmental toxicants results in diseased states, such as cancer. |
Is it possible to determine the fate of toxicants and the presence and efficiencies of detoxification systems in rotifers? |
