Abstract
Toxicokinetics describes by means of mathematical functions the time-and dose-dependent processes of absorption, distribution, and elimination of a chemical substance and metabolites thereof in animals and humans. For this purpose, classical compartment open models and physiologically based toxicokinetic models are used. Both are applied to fit concentration-time data and to predict concentration-time courses of a parent chemical and metabolites usually in blood or plasma for repeated or continuous exposures; the latter models enable additionally to predict such time courses in various tissues and organs. An introduction is given into toxicokinetic modeling exemplified by two classical compartment open models and a physiologically based toxicokinetic model.
