MeSH definition : Functionalization of exogenous substances to prepare them for conjugation in PHASE
II DETOXIFICATION. Phase I enzymes include CYTOCHROME P450 enzymes and some OXIDOREDUCTASES.
Excess induction of phase I over phase II detoxification leads to higher levels of
FREE RADICALS that can induce CANCER and other cell damage. Induction or antagonism
of phase I detoxication is the basis of a number of DRUG INTERACTIONS.;
