Threshold Dose:

A dose of drug just sufficient to produce a pre-selected effect. Frequently, and improperly, restricted to the dose just sufficient to produce a minimal detectable effect. In fact, an LD50 is a threshold dose if the pre-selected effect is "death in 50% of a population".

Cf. Median Effective Dose, Sensitivity, Potency
