Toxicology of Biological Communication - Lessons from Endocrine Disruptors and the Exposome

Master Communication Toxicology: A Holistic Approach

This book provides a comprehensive overview of how environmental stressors can disrupt communication in biological systems, leading to adverse outcomes. It expands beyond endocrine disruption to examine the effects of toxicants on the nervous and immune systems.

Key Features

• Holistic Perspective: Explores communication disruption as a key mechanism of toxicity, integrating concepts from different physiological systems, such as the nervous and immune systems.
• The Exposome Concept: Discusses how the exposome concept has transformed toxicology by integrating multiple exposures and highlighting their interactions.
• Inter-System Dialogue: Delves into the dialogue between chemicals and dietary imbalance, as well as between chemicals and psycho-social stress, to create a global communication disruption concept.
• Broad Audience: Intended for a wide range of readers, including researchers, scientists, students, and NGO experts, as well as interested citizens with a biological background.
