Lowest transcriptional (liver or kidney) versus apical (non-neoplastic or neoplastic) benchmark doses (BMDs) independent of sex and species. The fold difference of the lowest transcriptional Gene Ontology Biological Process (GO BP) BMD (liver or kidney) in male rats and the overall lowest apical (non-neoplastic or neoplastic) BMD in male or female rats or mice is shown. A negative fold difference indicates that the liver or kidney GO BP BMD is less than the apical (non-neoplastic or neoplastic) BMD. A positive fold difference indicates that the liver or kidney GO BP BMD is greater than the apical (non-neoplastic or neoplastic) BMD. The solid line represents no difference, whereas the dotted lines represent a 10-fold difference between the liver or kidney GO BP BMD and the apical (non-neoplastic or neoplastic) BMD. HT indicates hepatotoxic chemicals. Non-HT indicates chemicals that exhibit minimal/no hepatotoxicity but produce adverse effects in other tissues. Neg indicates chemicals that exhibit little overt toxicity to the liver or other tissues. Male rats (MR), female rats (FR), male mice (MM), or female mice (FM) indicate which sex and species the overall lowest apical (non-neoplastic or neoplastic) BMD was observed in for each of the chemicals shown.
