Introduction

 

In the exploration of a new field of research, many experiments unavoidably are "fishing expeditions" in which a large number of variables are assayed. Often, valuable information is obtained in unexpected areas under such circumstances, and this leads to the problem of piecing together diverse results into a self-consistent viewpoint. In this chapter we review reports of effects in the areas of metabolism, reproduction, growth and healing, and mutagenicity.
