  2. Lethal dose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethal_dose

    The concept of Ct was first proposed by Fritz Haber and is sometimes referred to as Haber's law, which assumes that exposure to 1 minute of 100 mg/m 3 is equivalent to 10 minutes of 10 mg/m 3 (1 × 100 = 100, as does 10 × 10 = 100). [citation needed]

  3. Cancer slope factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_slope_factor

    This estimate, usually expressed in units of proportion (of a population) affected per mg of substance/kg body weight-day, is generally reserved for use in the low-dose region of the dose-response relationship, that is, for exposures corresponding to risks less than 1 in 100. [1] Slope factors are also referred to as cancer potency factors (PF).

  4. Volume of distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_distribution

    An example for a simple case (mono-compartmental) would be to administer D=8 mg/kg to a human. A human has a blood volume of around V b l o o d = {\displaystyle V_{blood}=} 0.08 L/kg . [ 7 ] This gives a C 0 = {\displaystyle C_{0}=} 100 μg/mL if the drug stays in the blood stream only, and thus its volume of distribution is the same as V b l o ...

  5. Median lethal dose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_lethal_dose

    The botulinum toxin as the most toxic substance known has an LD 50 value of 1 ng/kg, while the most non-toxic substance water has an LD 50 value of more than 90 g/kg; a difference of about 1 in 100 billion, or 11 orders of magnitude. As with all measured values that differ by many orders of magnitude, a logarithmic view is advisable.

    Fetuses weighing more than or equal to 5 grams could be detected. Plotting a graph it was observed that thymus organ formed 52 mg/100 gram of body weight in case of a 5 gram fetus. Further study on 28 fetuses weighing 15 to 100 grams revealed the thymic weight to be 77 mg per 100 grams of the body weight.

    So, the maintenance dose of foosporin is 100 milligrams (100 mg) per day—just enough to offset the amount cleared. Suppose a patient just started taking 100 mg of foosporin every day. On the first day, they'd have 100 mg in their system; their body would clear 10 mg, leaving 90 mg.
