Biochemistry's most generous enzyme is handing out free oxygen atoms like they're party favors! Cytochrome P450 is that overexcited enzyme in your liver that attaches oxygen to practically any molecule that dares enter your body. It's basically the bouncer of your metabolism, tagging foreign compounds with oxygen to make them water-soluble and easier to flush out. Next time you take medicine, remember there's a tiny molecular Oprah inside you screaming "YOU get an oxygen! AND YOU get an oxygen!" while making those drugs less potent and more excretable. Your body's detox system has never been so dramatic!
Everyone Gets Oxidized!
