Human liver microsomes

Human liver microsomes are tiny vesicles derived from liver cells, containing enzymes involved in drug metabolism. They are used in laboratory studies to simulate how the body breaks down medications and other chemicals. By analyzing these microsomes, scientists can predict how quickly a drug might be processed in humans and identify potential interactions with other substances. Essentially, they serve as a useful tool for understanding the body's natural pathways for detoxification and drug processing, aiding in safer and more effective medication development.
