  2. Cardiac stress test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_stress_test

    A cardiac stress test is a cardiological examination that evaluates the cardiovascular system's response to external stress within a controlled clinical setting. This stress response can be induced through physical exercise (usually a treadmill) or intravenous pharmacological stimulation of heart rate.

  3. ISRIB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISRIB

    ISRIB (short for "integrated stress response inhibitor") is an experimental drug that reverses the effects of eIF2α phosphorylation with an IC 50 of 5 nM.It was discovered in the laboratory of Peter Walter at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) through a semi-automated screening of a large library of small molecules by Carmela Sidrauski, who decided to pursue research on it.

    Section 4: Health Effects; Section 5: Other Test Guidelines; Guidelines are numbered with three digit numbers, the section number being the first number. Sometimes guidelines are suffixed with a letter. Guidelines are under constant review, with guidelines being periodically updated, new guidelines being adopted, and guidelines being withdrawn.

  5. Stress testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_testing

    The stress test can result in three outcomes: Pass, Partly Pass and Fail, based on the comparison of the quantified risks to acceptable risk exposure levels and a penalty system. Phase 3: Decision, during which the results of the stress test are analyzed according to the goal and objectives defined in Phase 1. Critical events (events that most ...

  6. Acute toxicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_toxicity

    Acute toxicity is distinguished from chronic toxicity, which describes the adverse health effects from repeated exposures, often at lower levels, to a substance over a longer time period (months or years). It is widely considered unethical to use humans as test subjects for acute (or chronic) toxicity research.

  7. Cellular stress response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_stress_response

    Cellular stress response is the wide range of molecular changes that cells undergo in response to environmental stressors, including extremes of temperature, exposure to toxins, and mechanical damage. Cellular stress responses can also be caused by some viral infections. [1]
