Overcompensation Stimulation: A Mechanism for Hormetic Effects

Calabrese, Edward J.·2001·Critical Reviews in Toxicology

Abstract

Whether hormetic responses result from a direct or an overcompensation type of stimulatory response has been an unresolved and contentious issue in both radiation and chemical toxicology. The goal of the present article is to identify numerous examples of overcompensation stimulation in the biological/biomedical literature and to evaluate their descriptive and quantitative features. The findings provide support for the hypothesis that hormetic dose-response relationships from a broad array of biological models can occur after an initial disruption in homeostasis. The finding also demonstrates the significant role of temporal factors in the assessment of dose response relationships.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
