Question

A neonate’s highly immature liver and resulting low levels of the enzyme cytochrome P-450 (CYP450) affects what aspect of pharmacokinetics?

Answer 1

Answer:

Metabolism

Explanation:

Metabolism is  a chemical process occurring within a living organism in order to maintain life.

Drug metabolism involves the breakdown of drugs by specialized enzymatic system. This metabolism is important in pharmacokinetics since it determines the duration and intensity of a drug.

In humans, it takes place in the liver and enzyme cytochrome P-450 (CYP450) helps in the breakdown of the drugs.

There for immature liver and low levels of this enzyme will affect the aspect of metabolism
