| WBbiopr:00000050 | Public_name | Response to toxicity | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Summary | Exposure to a toxic substance can activate any number of processes that result in a change in state or activity of the organism. As a soil dwelling organism, C. elegans has evolved defenses against damaging substances in the soil environment and as such has proved to be an ideal organism for studying biological responses to toxins. These responses can occur at an organism level, such as invoking an avoidance behavior, or on a cellular level, such as activation of a cellular stress response. Cellular defenses have been shown to be invoked in response to reactive oxygen species, heavy metals, and toxin-induced unfolded proteins. | ||||
