This article provides a thorough exploration of biomarkers of toxicity, shedding light on their significance in toxicology
research. Biomarkers, measurable indicators of toxicity at various levels, offer crucial insights into the early detection
and mechanisms of adverse effects caused by diverse substances. The discussion encompasses biochemical,
genetic, protein, and cellular biomarkers, each serving distinct roles in toxicological assessments. Applications of
biomarkers extend to early detection of toxicity, drug development, environmental monitoring, and occupational
exposure assessment. Despite challenges related to specificity and sensitivity, recent advances in omics technologies
and data integration have propelled biomarker research. The article emphasizes the need for standardized assays
and regulatory frameworks to enhance the reliability of biomarkers in toxicology. In conclusion, biomarkers of toxicity
emerge as indispensable tools, playing a pivotal role in ensuring the safety of pharmaceuticals, safeguarding the
environment, and evaluating occupational exposures for a healthier and safer future.
