As such, it is also the major route for administration of pharmaceuticals to humans. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGastrointestinal Toxicology, Second Edition\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e describes the mechanism for entry and clearance of xenobiotics, as well as the barriers, immunologic and metabolic issues, and functions present in the GI tract.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppearing in this volume are also considerations of the microbiome and its actions and influence on the function of the GI tract and on the toxicity and pharmacodynamics of ingested substances (including nutrients, toxins, and therapeutics). These fifteen chapters written by experienced experts in the field address methods to evaluate GI function; specifics of GI function and toxicity assessment in canines and minipigs; classes of compounds with their toxicity; species differences; and the toxicity (and promise) of nanoparticles. Those needing to understand the structure, function, and methods of studying the GI tract will find this volume a singular source of reference.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45575400456430,"sku":"9781138360167","price":277.6,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781138360167.jpg?v=1720949589","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/toxicology-of-the-gastrointestinal-tract-second-edition-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
