How Do Toxicokinetics and Toxicodynamics Contribute to Toxicity?
Toxicokinetics involves the study of how a substance is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted by an organism. Toxicodynamics focuses on the biochemical and physiological effects of toxins at the target site. Together, these fields help elucidate the mechanisms of toxicity, enabling more accurate predictions of toxic effects and the development of therapeutic interventions.
