What Does TK Stand For?
TK stands for Toxicokinetics
Toxicokinetics (TK) is the branch of toxicology that studies the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of toxic substances in living organisms. It focuses on understanding how toxins enter the body, how they move through biological systems, how they are transformed by metabolic processes, and how they are ultimately eliminated. This information is essential for assessing the potential risks posed by chemicals and understanding their effects on human health and the environment.
