Principles of Biochemical Toxicology, Third Edition

Principles of Biochemical Toxicology, Third Edition introduces readers to the evolving field of toxicological biochemistry at a time when concerns over environmental pollutants, drug safety, and occupational risks are increasingly significant. John Timbrell builds on the success of the earlier editions to present a text that is both thorough and accessible for those encountering toxicology for the first time. This edition features updated content, including concise summary sections, self-assessment questions paired with model answers, and revised, clearer illustrations that enhance the learning experience. Detailed discussions of dose-response relationships, the metabolism and disposition of toxic compounds, and specific mechanisms of toxic response are supported by an enriched bibliography, offering pathways for further exploration. At 408 pages in paperback, this well-organized volume continues to serve as an essential resource for students and educators alike, providing a balanced blend of foundational theory and practical examples in the realm of biochemical toxicology.
