Match the following with their role in biotransformation:
Match the following with their role in biotransformation:
Phase I of xenobiotic metabolism = Introduces a polar group into the molecule Phase II of xenobiotic metabolism = Conjugates the xenobiotic to make it more water-soluble Hydrophilic metabolites = Reduced ability to cross membranes Lipophilic xenobiotics = Can penetrate lipid membranes
Match the following with their impact on toxicant elimination:
Match the following with their impact on toxicant elimination:
Biotransformation = Changes substances from hydrophobic to hydrophilic Introduction of a polar group in phase I = Increases water solubility of xenobiotics Reduced reabsorption by cells in elimination organs = Associated with altered toxicant distribution to tissues Lipoproteins in body fluids = Transport lipophilic xenobiotics
Match the following with their characteristics in biotransformation:
Match the following with their characteristics in biotransformation:
Chemically distinct metabolites = Result from biotransformation Increased hydrophilicity after biotransformation = Reduces membrane crossing ability Nonspecific enzymes in xenobiotic metabolism = Carry out the metabolism in two phases Introducing a polar group in phase I = Makes xenobiotics suitable for phase II reactions
