GlossaryBiotransformation

process of chemically altering substances in the body

Biotransformation is the process by which the body chemically alters substances, such as drugs or toxins, to make them easier to eliminate. This typically occurs in the liver and involves enzymatic reactions that convert these substances into more water-soluble compounds, facilitating their excretion through urine or bile.
