Abstract:
Detoxification, or detox, is the process by which the body removes harmful
substances, such as toxins, xenobiotics, and waste products. Xenobiotics, including
drugs, pollutants, and other foreign substances, pose a significant threat to human
health. The liver plays a vital role in detoxifying these harmful compounds, protecting
the body from their adverse effects. This seminar will delve into the liver's critical
functions in xenobiotic detoxification, exploring the enzymatic pathways, transport
mechanisms, and regulatory processes involved. Understanding the liver's role in
detoxifying xenobiotics is essential for developing effective strategies to mitigate the
adverse effects of these substances. This seminar aims to provide a comprehensive
overview of the liver's detoxification mechanisms, highlighting their significance in
maintaining human health and preventing disease.
