that can apply to vitamins. The body needs vitamins to function properly‚ but high doses of certain vitamins can be toxic‚ especially fat soluble vitamins that the body stores for long periods of time. Water Soluble Vitamins Water-soluble vitamin toxicity is rare because the body does not store water-soluble vitamins and excess amounts are usually excreted in urine. Side effects associated with water-soluble vitamins occur due to intake of extremely high doses. Peripheral neuropathy‚ a nerve disorder

Reflective paper Animal Rights When it comes to animals and their rights‚ there is a definite line between our needs and our taking advantage of those species that we consider inferior. As long as man has existed he has been carnivorous‚ and the same holds true for many other species of animals. Animals are a necessity to humans for survival‚ whether it be for food‚ clothing‚ etc. However‚ the unnecessary torture of animals through testing is not a necessity for human survival. When it comes to

dietary patterns‚ gender‚ life style and many such factors all contribute to determining the drug efficacy and toxicity making the process really challenging. At a broad level a drug is evaluated based on two metrics Efficacy and Toxicity. Efficacy of a drug is defined in terms of cure or elimination of disease condition and/or only mitigation of disease associated conditions. Toxicity or side-effects is defined as unintended and unwanted impact of the drug which causes or triggers other disease

studies of the predictability of animal experiments consistently show them to be worse than random guesswork. For example‚ in one paper that reviewed drugs whose toxicity to humans caused their withdrawal from the market (1960-1990)‚ only 4 out of 24 cases were predictable from animal data. In another review only 6 of 114 human toxicities had animal correlates. Clearly‚ animal tests are failing to protect people. According to Hospital Doctor journal‚ only one per cent of adverse drug reactions are

Animals are used to test scientific developments and commercial products. New medical treatments are tested on animals to verify the toxicity of new medications or the safety of a product that will be used on humans. The health care and commercial industries also turn to animal testing for these reasons. They say animal testing has contributed to many life saving cures and treatments. Experiments in which dogs had their pancreases removed led directly to the discovery of insulin‚ critical to saving
