Why are the shape and slope of a dose-response curve important?
Solution
Answer:
It is important for to predict the toxicity of a substance at specific dose levels. Major differences
among drugs may exist not only in the point at which the threshold is reached but also in the
percent of population responding per unit change in dose (i.e., the slope). The slope of the dose
response curve represents rate of buildup of toxic effects.
