description

Excretion of abundant compounds is an essential property of living organisms. Each day, a vast amount of material is taken up by the body that is of no nutritional value. Up take of such xenobiotics occurs mainly with the food but also by inhalation or transder-mally. Accumulation of these compounds would result in an enormous body burden. Thus, efficient mechanisms for the excretion of such compounds developed that have their roots very early in the evolution of life.
