Abstract

Conjugation of drugs and xenobiotics in liver and extrahepatie tissues is a complex process involving the availability of activated substrates such as uridine diphosphate (UDE)-glucuronic acid (Reinke et al. 1986) and adenosine 3’-phosphate-5’-phosphosulfate (PAPS) (Glazenburg et al. 1984), the uptake of substrates across various cellular membranes, and the formation and release of conjugated products (DeVries et al. 1985) as well as the activities of transferases and hydrolases (DeVries et al. 1985; El Mouelhi and Kauffman 1986; Schollhammer et al. 1975).
