This handbook of the series Biomarkers in Disease informs comprehensively about all aspects of monitoring and detecting toxicity in the human body and model organisms. Biomarkers for assessing toxicity in diverse organs are presented and different assays and methods are explained. Single compounds and drugs and their toxicity for humans are shown and the methods for detection described. Similar to all the volumes of the Biomarkers in Disease series, the chapters are written by experts in their field, each chapter features key facts summarizing the most important aspects of its respective topic and the definitions of words and terms facilitate the reading and understanding. This handbook is a must-have for researchers in toxicology and biomedicine who analyze the effects of drugs and various other substances in the human body and in model organisms. It also serves as a thorough guide for clinicians and pharmacologists.
