How Does Toxicology Address Tissue-Specific Toxicity?
Toxicology addresses tissue-specific toxicity by studying the distribution, metabolism, and excretion of toxicants across different tissues. This involves understanding the pharmacokinetics of toxicants, including how they are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated. Advanced techniques such as toxicogenomics and proteomics are used to identify tissue-specific biomarkers and pathways affected by toxicants, aiding in the development of targeted interventions.
