BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -The liver is the primary site for metabolism. Liver contains the necessary enzymes for metabolism of drugs and other xenobiotics. These enzymes induce two metabolism pathways: Phase I (functionalization reactions) and Phase II (biosynthetic reactions) metabolism.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose, lipids, and protein from ingested foods are taken up by small intestinal enterocytes for cellular metabolism and absorption.

Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract. The intestines are key for the absorption of nutrients and water as well as drug metabolism, and it is well known that there are clear differences in the expression profile of drug metabolism enzymes along the intestinal tract.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ileum: This last section is the longest part of your small intestine. The ileum is where most of the nutrients from your food are absorbed before emptying into the large intestine.
