toxicokinetics

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.T06416
Process of the
uptake
of potentially toxic substances by the body, the
biotransformation
they undergo, the distribution of the substances and their metabolites in the tissues, and the
elimination
of the substances and their metabolites from the body. Both the amounts and the concentrations of the substances and their metabolites are studied. The term has essentially the same meaning as
pharmacokinetics
, but the latter term should be restricted to the study of pharmaceutical substances.
