Proceedings: new directions on the extrapolation of health risks from animals to man. Volume 2. Toxicokinetics

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5885731

The workshop explored the role of toxicokinetics in the safety evaluation of chemicals when making risk assessments. This volume presents the theoretical discussions and suggested research plans. Discussions centered on species differences in absorption, plasma-protein binding, dose response curves, physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models, metabolite concentrations in toxicokinetic modeling, use of model systems in pharmacokinetics, dose-dependent kinetics and limitations of risk assessment models. Several approaches suggested for toxico-pharmacokinetic studies included DNA adduct investigations of compounds previously tested for carcinogenicity, liver-tumor hepatocyte correlations, liver-tumor/liver toxicity correlations, and pharmacokinetic evaluations and bioassays of new chemicals. Separate abstracts have been prepared for the papers.
