A general presentation of xenobiotic metabolism. Three phases are considered as essential, the first 2 steps corresponding to the activation and conjugation of xenobiotics leading to the production of metabolites, which are generally more hydrophilic. Therefore, a necessary third step involving membrane transporters leads to the elimination of the metabolites from the cell and subsequently, from the body (urines, sweat. . .).
