Summary Introduction

To write:

The comparison of antagonism, additive effects, synergism, and permissiveness and their relation to hormone interactions

Introduction:

Antagonism is a kind of interaction between elements where one gains at the cost of the other.

An additive effect is the total biological impact of two or more chemicals acting together which is the sum total of effects of each chemical acting independently.

Synergism is the joint activity of two or more anti-infective agents.

Permissiveness means the presence of one hormone required to ensure that another hormone acts efficiently on a target cell.
