How Do Toxins Affect Bile Production and Secretion?
Toxins can affect bile production and secretion in several ways. Hepatotoxic substances can impair liver function, reducing the production of bile. Cholestatic agents can obstruct bile flow, leading to an accumulation of bile acids in the liver and bloodstream, causing damage. Understanding the impact of specific toxins on bile production and secretion is crucial for assessing their hepatotoxic potential and overall toxicity.
