title: Possible examples of chemical hormesis in a previously published study.
abstract: A re-examination of data presented by Daston et al. provided an opportunity to assess the occurrence of chemical hormesis due to the wide dosage range tested and to the large number of treatments within the dosage range. The data revealed numerous examples of possible chemical hormesis for a variety of end-points measured.
