The document discusses various topics related to biochemistry and drug metabolism. It provides information on: - Drug metabolism occurs primarily in the liver through two phases - phase I involves reactions like oxidation and phase II involves conjugation reactions. - Cytochrome P450 enzymes play an important role in phase I reactions like oxidation, reduction and hydroxylation. - The liver contains endoplasmic reticulum where many metabolic reactions take place, including breakdown of hemoglobin (HB). - There are endogenous and exogenous substances, with endogenous substances produced naturally in the body.
