What is the important of the biotransformation xenobiotics?
What is the importent step in biotransformation
What are xenobiotics?
A xenobiotic is a foreign compound not produced by an organism's metabolism.
Do men and women have the liver enzyme CYP3A4?
Yes, they both do. Its purpose is to oxidize small foreign organic molecules (xenobiotics), such as toxins or drugs, so that they can be removed from the body.
What is a gaseous material that is exhaled from lungs as waste?
The body gets rid of several waste products from the lungs. And in fact, exhalation is the primary route of removal for some "xenobiotics" (materials that are not supposed to be in the body). Carbon dioxide
What is the difference between pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomis?
Pharmacogenomics is the understanding of genetic differences that causes people to metabolize xenobiotics (mostly drugs) differently. Pharmacogenomics consider the whole genome whereas pharamacogenetics consider only 1 or a few genes at most.
What does bleaching of coral reefs mean?
Coral reef bleaching is the result of the die-off of certain coral. Coral reef bleaching is the whitening of diverse invertebrate taxa. Coral reef bleaching is caused by various anthropogenic and natural variations in the reef environment including sea temperature, solar irradiance, sedimentation, xenobiotics, subaerial exposure, inorganic nutrients, freshwater dilution, and epizootics.

How to get Ocular Toxicology Services from reliable suppliers?
Ocular toxicity is routinely assessed in toxicology studies conducted for regulatory purposes. Anatomical and physiological differences between species can affect the nature of ocular effects observed following intended or unintended exposure of ocular tissues to xenobiotics. Ocular toxicity in experimental animals provides a concise reference for ocular anatomy and physiology of different species, which will contribute to the design and interpretation of toxicological studies.
What are Pseudomonas?
Pseudomonas are proteobacteria that belong to the genus Pseudomonas. There are a number of species such as P. aeruginosa, which is an opportunistic pathogen, causing infections in CF patients, burn/wound victims etc.. There is also the P. putida, P. fluorescens etc. They are know for their metabolic diversity, being able to breakdown a wide range of organic compounds including xenobiotics. They are also known for their hydrocarbon degrading abilities and some of their enzymes such as phytases, lipases may have industrial applications.

Describe how each waste products is removed from the body?
The body produces a wide variety of waste products, and each has its own elimination route and mechanism. For example, metabolism produces waste heat, waste gases, waste liquids and waste solids. Each of these wastes will be removed differently. Similarly, the body can produce secondary metabolites that are the result of normal elimination of "xenobiotics," the route and mechinisms will be different for each.
