  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001337",
  "term": "Biphasic dose-effect model",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A representation of the relationship between the dose of a substance and its effect, where the effect changes direction at an intermediate dose. This model describes phenomena like hormesis, where low doses may stimulate a beneficial response, while high doses cause an inhibitory or toxic effect. It deviates from a simple monotonic dose-response curve.",
