Xenobiotics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The study of xenobiotics, encompassing foreign chemical substances such as drugs, environmental pollutants, and industrial chemicals, has gained significant attention due to their impact on living organisms and ecosystems. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the effects, metabolism, and detoxification mechanisms of xenobiotics in biological systems. It explores the pathways through which these substances enter organisms, their bioaccumulation, and potential toxic effects. The book also emphasizes the role of enzymes in biotransformation and the elimination of xenobiotics, highlighting the biological significance of phase I and phase II reactions in detoxification.Furthermore, the text delves into the impact of xenobiotics on various organ systems, focusing on their role in causing mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, and endocrine disruption. Special attention is given to emerging contaminants, such as pharmaceutical residues and industrial by-products, which pose new challenges to environmental safety and public health.
