The increase in dose above threshold dose induces an increase in the percentage of biological responses. [2] Several benchmarks have been established to describe the effects of a particular dose of drug in a particular species, such as NOEL(no-observed-effect-level), NOAEL (no-observed-adverse-effect-level) and LOAEL (lowest-observed-adverse ...
