What Role Does Toxicokinetics Play in Toxin Identification?
Toxicokinetics involves studying how a toxin is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted by the body. Understanding these processes is crucial for toxin identification as they influence the concentration and form of the toxin present in biological samples. By analyzing toxicokinetic data, toxicologists can make informed decisions about the likely identity and impact of the toxin.
