Determination of Lethal Dose (LD 50) of Venom of four Different Poisonous Snakes found in Pakistan and Cholistan desert, and Astola island of Makran in Baluchistan.

The relation between approximate lethal doses (ALD, i.e. the lowest dose at which mortality occurs) and the corresponding median lethal doses (LD50) was investigated in 231 acute toxicity studies in mice and rats. The ALD values were divided into four classes (less than 5 mg/kg, 5-50 mg/kg, 50-500 m …

The relationship between the drug dose, regardless of route used, and the drug concentration at the cellular level is even more complex (see Pharmacokinetics). Dose-response data are typically graphed with the dose or dose function (eg, log 10 dose) on the x-axis and the measured effect (response) on the y-axis. Because a drug effect is a ...

 — What does LD 50 mean? Back to top. LD stands for "Lethal Dose". LD 50 is the amount of a material, given all at once, which causes the death of 50% (one half) of a group of test animals. The LD 50 is one way to measure the short-term poisoning potential (acute toxicity) of a material.. Toxicologists can use many kinds of animals but most …

 — The ligand dosages were reduced by half in each group 1 / 2 (3600, 2500, 1800, 1300, 1000, and 600 mg/kg body weight). The lethal dose for half of the animals was determined by administering these concentrations orally via an infected tube and recording the indications of poisoning and death within 24 h (LD50).

 — Plasma half-life (t 1/2 =.693/k el) is constant and independent of dose. Determination of apparent volume of distribution: Extrapolation to time zero of the line of best fit for ln C p vs t data; antilog of drug concentration at time 0 designated as C 0. Then, [ {V}_d (in mls or liters)={Total Doseover {C}_0}] Determination of total ...

 — In the absence of initial information indicating likely slope or LD 50, the UDP guideline recommends a default starting dose of 175 mg/kg and the use of half log units of dose corresponding to a progression of 3.2. These default values will accommodate a variety of situations, including chemicals with slopes as low as 2.0.

Lethal dose (LD 50) One such population-level measure is the median lethal dose, LD 50 (lethal dose, 50%). This is defined as the dose required to kill half the members of a specific animal population when entering …

 — The findings of this study based on radiosensitivity test and lethal dose determination indicated that acute gamma radiation dose at the range of 25–300 Gy can produce viable mutations in Bambara groundnut varieties. Equally, the results on growth reduction test in chronic gamma mutagenesis indicated that gamma-irradiation dosage …

 — Heat treatment is an effective sanitization method used for over half a century to reduce the risk of transporting pests associated with wood products. The determination of precise lethal heat treatment parameters for pests is critical for the development of globally harmonized plant protection regulatory treatment policies. Separation of heat treatment …

Keywords: Dose-related response, lethal dose, toxicity tests. In screening drugs, determination of LD50 (the dose which has proved to be lethal (causing death) to 50% of the tested group of animals) is usually an initial step in the assessment and evaluation of the toxic characteristics of a substance. It is an initial assessment of toxic ...

 — Titer index (TI) equals N log 10 LC 50 and provides protection against lethal dose in graded fashion which translates to protection index. N is the number of vaccine dose that could neutralize the LC 50. Hence, parasite inoculum of 10 3 to 10 11 may be used as basis for determination of LC 50 and median bacterial concentrations (BC 50) ...

 — Determination of optimum dose, radiosensitivity and treatment conditions are most essential for mutagenesis expeiments. ... LD 50 dose (Lethal Dose) of radiation is the dose required to kill half the members of a tested population after a specified test duration (Roslim et al. 2015).
