Acute Oral Toxicity of Tetrodotoxin in Mice: Determination of Lethal Dose 50 (LD50) and No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) [PDF]
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is starting to appear in molluscs from the European waters and is a hazard to seafood consumers. This toxin blocks sodium channels resulting in neuromuscular paralysis and even death. As a part of the risk assessment process leading to

Hormesis Shifts the No-Observed-Adverse-Effect Level (NOAEL) [PDF]
Data from recent dose-response toxicological studies suggest that the no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) may depend upon whether hormesis is present. A further examination of these data supports this hypothesis by showing that the NOAEL was greater

QSAR Models for Repeated Dose Toxicity in Rats Using the CORAL Software [PDF]
The evaluation of the safety of chemical substances requires the identification of a safe dose, which has no adverse effects on humans. This is obtained through animal studies, with exposure prolonged for months.
