“…By applying a toxicogenomic approach, researchers can determine how gene expression responses to exposure to toxic substances are linked to toxic outcome, a process called phenotypic anchoring (Paules, 2003). Toxicogenomics can also be used to identify molecular targets and biomarker genes, and has been used to investigate hepatotoxicity (Harrill et al, 2009;Heinloth et al, 2004;Hirode et al, 2009;Kiyosawa et al, 2007;Uehara et al, 2008Low et al, 2011), nephrotoxicity (Huang et al, 2001;Kharasch et al, 2006;Kondo et al, 2009;Luhe et al, 2003;Ozaki et al, 2010), and cardiotoxicity (Mori et al, 2010). A large number of toxicogenomic studies have focused on the nephrotoxicity of various prototypical compounds in rats.…”
