| gonad dose | The exposure dose to the male or female gonad, usually from incidental secondary radiation in diagnostic or therapeutic irradiation, or from whole-body irradiation. Synonym: gonadal dose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| minimal dose | <pharmacology> The smallest amount of a drug or physical procedure that will produce a desired physiologic effect in an adult. (05 Mar 2000) |
| minimal infecting dose | <microbiology> The smallest quantity of infectious material regularly producing infection; usually expressed as I.D.50, the quantity causing infection in 50% of a suitable series of animals or cells (cell cultures). (05 Mar 2000) |
| minimal lethal dose | <pharmacology> The minimal dose of a toxic substance or infectious agent that is lethal, as assayed in various experimental animals (e.g., the least amount of diphtheria toxin that, on an average, kills a 250-g guinea pig within 96 hours after subcutaneous inoculation). When followed by a subscript (generally "MLD50"), denotes the minimal dose that is lethal to a certain percentage (e.g., 50%) of animals so assayed, LD05. See: lethal dose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| minimal reacting dose | The minimal dose of a toxic substance causing a reaction, as manifested in the skin of a series of susceptible test animals; the assay is based on the development of a characteristic, minimal but definite, "standard," focal inflammation (congestion and oedema, induration, degenerative changes, and desquamation of epidermal cells). (05 Mar 2000) |
| cumulative dose | The total dose resulting from repeated exposures to radiation of the same part of the body or of the whole body. (05 Mar 2000) |

| preventive dose | The smallest amount of any substance that will prevent occurrence of symptoms of a disease or the consequences of a lack of a particular factor in the diet. (05 Mar 2000) |
| high dose tolerance | The induction of tolerance by exposure to high doses of antigen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensitizing dose | In experimental anaphylaxis, the antigenic inoculum that renders an animal susceptible (sensitive) to anaphylactic shock following a subsequent inoculum (shocking dose) of the same antigen (anaphylactogen). (05 Mar 2000) |
| shocking dose | In experimental anaphylaxis, the inoculum of antigen that causes anaphylactic shock in an animal sensitised by a previous inoculum (sensitizing dose) of the same antigen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| skin dose | The quantity of radiation delivered to the skin surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| daily dose | The total amount of a remedy that is to be taken within 24 hours. (05 Mar 2000) |
| depth dose | The dose of radiation at a distance beneath the surface, including secondary radiation or scatter, in proportion to the dose at the surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
