> Anna - The cytochrome system is a number of slightly different enzymes produced by the liver to convert hydrophobic, lipid soluble compounds (ones that dissolve in fats) into hydrophilic, water soluble ones. The kidney can excrete water soluble compounds in the urine easier than lipid soluble ones. The cytochrome system is the main detoxifying system of the liver.
