Food and Nutritional Toxicology

Image
Toxicology deals with the chemicals which show adverse effects on living things. Toxicology is an interdisciplinary course of various branches. The further the toxicology has been classified as:: Clinical Toxicology, Forensic toxicology, ecotoxicology, Occupational Toxicology, Environmental Toxicology, Regulatory Toxicology and Food Toxicology . The major  biological factor influence toxicity  is Adsorption, Distribution, Storage and Excretion. The factor adsorption is influenced by Type of Membrane, adsorption rate in the alimentary canal. Same as adsorption; Distribution is influenced by the volume of distribution. The storage means accumulation of a toxic substance, when it crosses the intermediate dose rate it leads to adverse effects in the organism. In Excretion, elimination of Toxic substance occurs through various routes urine, faeces , and exhaled air. Here toxicants present in food are detected through quantitate and qualitative analysis.               

Role of Nanotechnology in Pharmacology

Nanotechnology overcomes many challenges in the field of pharmacology . The Nano-sized materials are designed and fabricated to carry the drugs to the targeted region and further released drug concentration will be more in the target location. Nano-particles are used for both treatment and diagnosis. Many nanomaterials are patented and used for analysis, detection and treatment of the diseases. Nanotechnology devises application is used in the field of medicine and leads to the development of various Nanomedicines; used in the diagnosis and treatment of various disease. The Nanomedicine leads to the better path in the human life.Diagnostic Nanomachines could be employed to monitor the internal chemistry of the body. Mobile nanoparticles are used to circulate in blood and lymph nodes to find out abnormalities and signal will be passed by them. Nanomaterials are implanted in the human body whoever has a chronic deficiency to induce the drug release and also helps in secreting
