BASICS OF TOXICOLOGY CONNECTED TO FOOD Introduction What is Toxicology?
Short History of Toxicology Dose and Response Interactions of Toxic Substances Classification of Toxicants Some Toxicology-Related Principles of Cellular Biology and Biochemistry

Routes of Xenobiotics in Organism Entry and Absorption of Foreign Compounds Distribution of the Xenobiotics in the Organism Metabolism of Xenobiotics Elimination of Xenobiotics and/or Metabolites from Organism Biomagnification Antidotes

Toxic Response Variability of Toxic Response Types of Toxic Response Molecular Mechanisms of Toxicity Biomarkers of Toxic Effect

Analytical Toxicology Determination of Foreign Compounds General Principles Hyphenated Chromatographic and Spectrophotometric Methods Immunological Methods for Sample Preparation and Analysis
