MeSH definition : The conjugation of exogenous substances with various hydrophilic substituents to form
water soluble products that are excretable in URINE. Phase II modifications include
GLUTATHIONE conjugation; ACYLATION; and AMINATION. Phase II enzymes include GLUTATHIONE
TRANSFERASE and GLUCURONOSYLTRANSFERASE. In a sense these reactions detoxify phase
I reaction products.;
