“…The BMD approach has mostly been applied in the developmental toxicity studies (12,(15)(16)(17)(18) and neurotoxicity (12,15,18,19). In addition, recently published data indicate the other ways in which the BMD approach could be applied in toxicology (18,(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29). The experience of our research group includes the use of a BMD approach in evaluating the toxic effects of decabrominated diphenyl ether BDE-209 in subacute orally exposed Wistar rats ( Figure 1A) (25,28), as well as polychlorinated biphenyls after subacute oral exposure of rats (23,27).…”
