Bemerkung:

Gutes Ex. - Englisch. - To maintain a proper milieu interieur, our body is faced to eliminate efficiently the useless or harmful ballast of foreign compounds incorporated daily. In order to enhance excretion of lipophilic xenobiotics, higher organisms have evolved a variety of metabolic reactions to produce more hydrophilic derivatives that are easily excreted by the kidneys. The liver is the central organ to fulfil this task, but other organs may share it, too. In doing so, the organism runs some risk, because reactive intermediates can be formed which may injure the cells where they arise, or - if sufficiently stable - some distant sensitive organs they reach while travelling through the body. Hence, metabolism and cell toxicity are closely connected.
