1 Page of 0 0 Table I Dose-Response Characterization Each chemical in the table below was categorized by using one of five possible categories (to determine the relevance and relative strength of the underlying evidence for each of the chemicals being considered) - as follows:. LDE (LOW DOSE EFFECT) - The ability of this chemical to exert this particular effect is not well characterized at a range of dose levels, but the evidence suggests that this chemical can exert this effect at low dose levels (i.e., levels that are deemed relevant given the background levels of exposure that exist in the environment and as further defined below).. LLDE (Linear Dose-Response with Low Dose Effects) The ability of this chemical to exert this particular effect is well characterized at a range of dose levels and the evidence suggests that a linear dose-response relationship exists with effects at low dose levels being evident (i.e., levels that are lower than the LOEL/LOAEL or threshold and deemed relevant given the background levels of exposure that exist in the environment). Note - a linear dose-response model implies no threshold. Effects at low doses are the same as at higher doses even if at a lesser extent. The effect is directly proportional to the dose.. NLDE (Non-linear Dose-Response with Low Dose Effects) The ability of this chemical to exert this particular effect is well characterized at a range of dose levels and the evidence suggests that a non-linear dose-response relationship exists with exaggerated effects at low dose levels being evident (i.e., levels that are lower than the LOEL/LOAEL or threshold and deemed relevant given the background levels of exposure that exist in the environment) Note a non-linear dose-response with low dose effect implies that the effect does not vary according to the dose of the agent. The effect at low doses may be the same as at the higher doses or different. The non-linear dose-response may have or not have a threshold. It is represented by a sigmoid curve. The non-linear dose-response at low doses may be a non-monotonic doseresponse (NMDR). THRESHOLD The ability of this chemical to exert this particular effect is well characterized at a range of dose levels, and a threshold has been established for this chemical that suggests that this action on this mechanism/pathway does not occur at low dose levels (i.e., levels that are lower than the threshold and deemed relevant given the background levels of exposure that exist in the environment).. UNKNOWN Although the ability of this chemical to exert this particular effect has been shown at higher dose levels, this effect is not well characterized at a range of dose levels, so a LOEL /LOAEL or a threshold has not been determined for this chemical and there is no evidence showing that this chemical exerts this action at low dose levels (i.e., levels that lower than the LOEL/LOAEL or threshold and are deemed relevant given the background levels of exposure that exist in the environment). A-I = in vivo animal models, A-CL = animal cell lines, A-PC = animal primary cells, H-PC = human primary cells, H-CL = human cell lines, H-E = Human epidemiological studies. With respect to the human primary cell (H-PC) data from ToxCast () : Unknown signifies that the compound was tested across a range of doses and showed statistically significant activity against the specified targets at the lowest test concentrations (~0.0 µm), therefore a threshold could not be established. Threshold in this dataset signifies that there was no activity against the targets at one or more of the lowest concentrations tested.
