Introduction to Toxicology, 3rd Edition by Timbrell, John A :: As with many areas of biomedical science, the study of toxicology has been influenced by fundamental changes in biochemistry and molecular biology and now by the newly emerging sciences of genomics, proteomics and metabonomics. These are having a major impact on the study and potentially an understanding of the interactions of chemicals with living sytems. Also new areas and types of interaction have emerged since the second edition of this book. Some of these, such as interactions with the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor, are now mentioned in this new edition.
However, this book is primarily concerned with the basic underlying principles of toxicology at the introductory level and these remain largely unchanged. Therefore the format of the previous editions has been retained with specific examples used to illustrate these basic principles. The major changes have been updating the existing text in relation to new knowledge or nomenclature and the inclusions of new examples.

Book Description:
Since the publication of the first edition of Introduction to Toxicology , toxicology has become a more mature science, the number of undergraduate and postgraduate courses has increased and thus the need for a regularly updated introductory text has become more pressing. This third edition caters for this need in a clear and easy-to-read style, featuring:* Up-to-the-minute information* Relevant toxicological examples that reinforce principles* End-of-chapter essay questions* New and redrawn illustrations* Glossary of terms* Extensively revised bibliographyThe fundamental principles of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion are described in the introductory chapters, as are the types of exposure and response. In subsequent chapters these are clarified with the use of carefully chosen examples. Among the topics considered are the potential adverse effects of drugs, pesticides, food additives and industrial chemicals.
