Portability

Tolerance is the ability of an organism to tolerate something that other organisms of a given species or related species do not tolerate well enough, for example, the influenza virus is poorly tolerated by the body of some people. If a person has high tolerance, then the body has the ability to protect itself from harmful substances and microorganisms, i.e. the adaptation mechanism is working.

In 1935, Russian geneticist N.P. Dubinin introduced the concept of “genetic barrier” (immunity). This is a protective reaction to any accidental introduction of antigens into the body (including viral, microbial), the production of antibodies directed against these antigens, or the appearance of an altered structure of body tissue. Those. a person has natural protection against various diseases. This protection is provided by the body's humoral and cellular immune defense systems.

Tolerance is the body's ability to tolerate a certain degree of external influence. This is one of the most important concepts in medicine and biology. The mechanisms underlying tolerance can range from mechanical properties of the cell to complex behavioral responses.

Tolerability is widely used in medical practice. For example, doctors use heat tolerance measurements to determine a patient's ability to tolerate a high temperature. The doctor also evaluates the mechanism of tolerance and, if necessary, prescribes therapy.

It is important to remember that tolerance may vary depending on age, gender, race, genetic predisposition, diet and other factors. Therefore, you should always take into account the individual characteristics of the body.
