The basis of project is study of the interaction of selected xenobiotics and essential trace elements on a living organism. To elucidate the multidimensional interactions of these elements, the response of the organism to the long-term effect of xenobiotics in relation to the immune system and selected biochemical parameters will be monitored in experimental animals. The project will also address the possibilities of identifying the routes of penetration, utilization, distribution, retention, elimination and bioavailability of xenobiotics and essential elements in the body. At the same time, the nature of the effect of low doses of genotoxic substances on the animal organism will be monitored. Research designed in this way will be beneficial for the concrete and effective use of selected essential elements to minimize the negative effects of xenobiotics.
