Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C Toxicology & Pharmacology

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology publishes papers in comparative, environmental and evolutionary physiology, with a focus on toxicological mechanisms at different levels of organization, including chemical and drug action, biotransformation of xenobiotics, endocrine disruptors, nanoparticles, pharmaceuticals, and natural products chemistry. Studies commonly use molecular approaches together with observations at higher levels of organization to assess how xenobiotics affect physiology.
