e/Xenobiotic metabolism

Information
has gloss	eng: Xenobiotic metabolism is the set of metabolic pathways that modify the chemical structure of xenobiotics, which are compounds foreign to an organism's normal biochemistry, such as drugs and poisons. These pathways are a form of biotransformation present in all major groups of organisms, and are considered to be of ancient origin. These reactions often act to detoxify poisonous compounds; however, in some cases, the intermediates in xenobiotic metabolism can themselves be the cause of toxic effects.
lexicalization	eng: xenobiotic metabolism
instance of	(noun) the organic processes (in a cell or organism) that are necessary for life metabolism, metabolic process

Meaning
Catalan
has gloss	cat: El metabolisme dels xenobiòtics és el conjunt de rutes metabòliques que modifiquen lestructura química dels xenobiòtics, que són compostos aliens a la bioquímica normal dun organisme, com ara medicaments i verins. Aquestes rutes són una forma de biotransformació present en tots els grups principals d'organismes, i es considera que tenen un origen molt antic. Aquestes reaccions sovint funcionen destoxificant compostos verinosos; tanmateix, en alguns casos, els intermedis del metabolisme xenobiòtic poden causar efectes tòxics per si mateixos.
