How Does the Gastrointestinal Tract Affect Secretion?
The gastrointestinal tract, particularly the intestines, also plays a significant role in the secretion of toxins. Certain toxins are excreted into the intestines via bile and then eliminated through feces. Moreover, the gut flora can transform some toxins, aiding in their eventual secretion. This enterohepatic circulation can sometimes lead to the reabsorption of toxins, complicating the detoxification process.
