Glossary
Alkaloid absorption	Up-take of alkaloids from dietary items.
Biotransformation	Structural change of a compound. For example, the conversion of pumiliotoxin (+)-251D into allopumiliotoxin (+)-267A known from Dendrobates and Adelphobates [39].
Alkaloid degradation	Breakdown of alkaloids or alkaloid derivatives.
Alkaloid metabolism	Biotransformation, excretion or degradation of alkaloids.
Bioaccumulation	Accumulation of alkaloids because they are not metabolized at the same rate in which they are absorbed.
Alkaloid sequestering	Ability to absorb alkaloids, and internalize and store them in selected tissues or cells.
Alkaloid resistance	Avoidance of alkaloid toxicity. It can be achieved through several mechanisms, including mutations in target ion-channels and receptors, sequestering or metabolism.
Alkaloid processing	Absorption, metabolism and sequestering of alkaloids.
