Course objectives
Understanding of the fundamental knowledge of basic toxicology. Routes of exposure, intake, uptake; metabolism, genetic polymorphism influencing the sussceptibility to chemical exposure; excretion. The outcomes of exposure to chemicals, the methods for their detection. Obtaining the basic knowledge about special toxicology, with the concern about chemical contaminants of food chains. Training the skills in methods used in basic and special toxicology, including the tests of genotoxicity.
Syllabus
  • Environmental chemical contaminants - problems, world catastrophes. Intake, uptake in toxicology. Anti-chemical defense systems in the human body. Metabolism of chemicals, the role of microsomal enzymes. Genetic determination of the differences in the metabolism of xenobiotics, the effects on human sussceptibility to chemicals.
