Bioactivation Certain chemically stable compounds can be converted to chemically reactive metabolites.
Other barriers are also present in such organs as the eyes and testicles. In addition, the erythrocyte plays an interesting role in the distribution of certain toxicants. For example, its membrane acts as a barrier against the penetration of inorganic mercury compounds but not that of alkyl mercury. Furthermore, there is affinity of the erythrocyte cytoplasm for alkyl mercury compounds. Because of these factors, the concentration of inorganic mercury compounds in the erythrocytes is only about half that in the plasma, whereas that of methyl mercury in the erythrocyte is about ten times that in the plasma (WHO, 1976).

Absorption, distribution, and excretion 15 trate the cell membrane because of its low lipid solubility. On the other hand, the nonionized form is likely lipid-soluble enough to do so, and its rate of penetration is dependent on the lipid solubility. The extent of ionization of weak organic acids and bases depends on the pH of the medium. 3). 2 Disposition of benzoic acid and aniline in gastric juice and plasma.
