1960 Science 23 Dec. 1892/3 The more important problem is how the hormetic action of an esential nutrient can be distinguished from its nutritive action.

1987 Health Physics 52 607 The exposure level reported to induce such effects is about an order of magnitude greater than that reported for similar hormetic responses in animals.
