Biomarkers in human and animal studies can: 1.Reduce Misclassification 2. Document the extent of effect modification 1.Exposure : Exposure Interactions 2.Gene : Exposure Interactions 3. Determine Mechanisms 4. Serve as outcome variables
Interactions: Effects of Age, Sex, etc Effects of Chronic Exposure (Cumulative Effects) Effects of Concomitant Exposure Additive Antagonistic Potentiative Synergistic
