Toxicodynamics is the mechanism of how toxic chemicals affect the body. Toxic chemicals can target enzymes, membranes, receptors, and cause adverse biochemical or macromolecular changes through ion channel damage, enzyme or protein synthesis disruption, or DNA damage. The severity of intoxication is determined by general dose-response relationships. Median lethal dose (LD50) is the dose expected to kill 50% of a population, while median effective dose (ED50) produces a desired response in 50% at a given d
