Scope note: A repertory born after the observations of Hugo Schultz (1920), who found that toxic substances inversely influence the growth of yeast depending on the dose. The strong dose causes a decrease in its physiological function in the cell, and the weak dose causes an excitation of the same function. This statement supported Rudolf Arndt's studies, which explained the inverse action of medications depending on the dose, fundamental for understanding the mechanism of action of minimum doses.
