Example of hormesis – biological response to chemical and physical agents. Deficiency symptoms are caused by deficit of an agent (dose less than D); small doses (between D and T) are vital for good health (shaded area), doses higher than T cause toxic or other harmful effects. Dotted line represents linear no-threshold relationship, solid line represents hormetic dose-effect relationship (after [10])
