Hi everyone,
I was going through some notes and had a question. It says that Zone 3 in the hepatocyte undertakes drug metabolism. This confuses me however. Doesn't drug metabolism and cytochrom p450 require oxygen? And doesn't Zone 3 receive the least amount of oxygen?
I would appreciate any help!
Thank you,
Amitha
