  LD50 -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Stating it this way allows the relative toxicity of different substances to be compared, and allows one to scale for the different size of the animals exposed.
This is particularly the case where the substance is not particularly toxic and a large quantity of the material is ingested by the animals over a long period, in some cases causing slow, painful deaths.
Another criticism of LD testing is that lethality in test animals does not always give an accurate indication of lethality in humans, because resistance varies from one species to another.

 LD50 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In animal testing studies, the dose administered that kills half the test population is referred to as the LD, for "Lethal Dose, 50%".
The usual terms for expressing the LD are in units of mass of substance per mass of body mass, eg grams (of substance) per kilogram (of body mass).
The LD of batrachotoxin in humans is estimated to be 1 to 2 µg/kg.

 The Cinematic Verses: Lethal Dose (LD 50)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
A group of animal rights activists (known as LD 50) break into a corporate lab in an effort to liberate the unfortunate animals that are being held captive while waiting for their turn under the knife.
The now disbanded members of LD 50 decode an e-mail from their former colleague indicating the location of the lab in which he is participating in the experiments.
The motley crew of LD 50 is comprised of the usual suspects.

 TOXICITY LATHAL DOSE LD-50
Lethal Dose 50: A single dose of a material that, on the basis of laboratory tests, is expected to kill 50% of a group of test animals.
Lethal Concentration 50: The concentration of a material in air that, on the basis of laboratory tests, is expected to kill 50% of a group of test animals when administered as a single exposure (usually 1 or 4 hours).
The LC50 is expressed as parts of material per million parts of air, by volume (ppm) for gases and vapors, or as micrograms of material per liter of air (µg/L) or milligrams of material per cubic meter of air (mg/m3) for dusts and mists, as well as for gases and vapors.

 British Journal of Pharmacology - In vivo effects of new inhibitors of catechol-O-methyl transferase
Levodopa (LD) is widely used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) (Papavasilous et al., 1972; Bartholini and Pletscher, 1975), which is characterized by a marked reduction of dopamine (DA) levels in the striatum.
LD is converted by dopa decarboxylase (DDC) to DA, both in peripheral tissues and in brain.
Accumulation of 3-OMD may be detrimental for PD patients since it competes with LD for the active transport through the intestinal mucosa and the blood-brain-barrier (Muenter et al., 1973; Reches et al., 1982).

 The MSDS HyperGlossary: LD-50, 50% Lethal Dose
(50% lethal concentration) is a related term used for gases, dusts, vapors, mists etc.
Typical units for LD values are milligrams or grams of material per kilogram of body weight (mg/kg or g/kg, recall that 1 kg = 2.2 pounds).
Never be exposed to an LD dose of a hazardous chemical -- by definition, there is a 50% chance this will kill you...and if you survive you're not going to be in good shape.

 UNODC - Bulletin on Narcotics - 1958 Issue 4 - 006
Subcutaneous and oral ED 's in mice and subcutaneous LD 's were determined at Bethesda; the other data were obtained in the Hoffman-La Roche laboratories at Basle.
If possible, an LD was calculated by probit analysis, but in many instances the low order of toxicity and the small amount of material available permitted only the conclusion that the LD was above a certain level.
The intravenous LD values varied much less from the LD of levorphanol than did thesubcutaneous LD ’s, but again the most active compounds had high LD ratios; and again these ratios diminished as analgesic activity diminished.

The LD 50 is the single dose of a substance which when administered to a batch of animals under test kills 50% of them.
In a similar way, the LC 50 refers to an inhale substance and is the concentration which kills 50% in a stated time.
The time taken to reduce the concentration of a substance in the body to 50% is known as its biological half-life.

 .50-Caliber In-Line Muzzleloader Muscle
The lightweight.50-caliber Lightning LD in-line muzzleloader from Traditions features fiber-optic sights, a two-position safety, an adjustable trigger, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mount installation.
The standard Lightning LD is chambered in.45 and.50 calibers, has a 26-inch fluted barrel, and comes in three combinations: fl synthetic and blued steel, fl synthetic and nickeled steel, or camo stock with nickeled steel.
I tried the two granulations in the.50-caliber Traditions LD, and both accuracy and velocity were about the same although FFg H777, the coarser of the two powders, did seem to leave behind a bit more fouling.

 ipedia.com: LD50 Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
In toxicology, the LD 50 or colloquially semilethal dose of a particular substance is a measure of how much constitutes a lethal dose.
Unsurprisingly, animal welfare groups (particularly those influenced by the animal liberation movement) object to the studies needed to calculate this figure.
As concern grows for the welfare for animals, the test is administered less frequently, though the collection of data already obtained make it useful.

 cannabis.com: JUST SAY KNOW: How Many Dosages Of THC Must A Human Take To Reach The LD-50% Amount?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
I think the LD-50% dose is a statistical term which means the dose or amount of a substance that will kill about 50% of the test subjects.
Another way to look at the Therapeutic Index is this - it simply states how many normal-sized doses of a certain substance a given population of animals has to take, in order to reach the level that kills about 50% of them.
So, in general, the higher a T.I. or Safety Ratio something has, the safer it is to use as this means there is less chance of dying from an overdose if one takes too much.

Isnt the LD-50 when they give 100 rabbits (or whatever, take your pick- try kangeroos) an increasingly high dose of a drug untill 50 of them have overdosed, and then that dose becomes the LD-50, so then it wouldnt change if you had zero tolerance or not.
