Impact/Purpose:
This paper provides an overview of the Key Events Dose-Response Framework and introduces a series of four companion papers that illustrate initial application of the approach to a range of bioactive agents.
Description:
the ILSI Research Foundation conveded a cross-disciplinary working group to examine current approaches for assessing dose-response and identifying safe levels of intake or exposure for four categoreis of bioactive agents: food allergens, nutrients, pathogenic microorganisms, and environmental chemicals. This effort generated a common analytical framework-- the Key Events Dose-Response Framework (KEDRF)-- for systematically examining key events that occur between the initial dose of a bioactive agent and the effect of concernn
