are excreted faster in basic (not acidic) urine.
A good example of chemical antagonism
Explanation:
Chemical antagonism does not involve any receptors. Protamine is a positively charged protein at physiological pH and thus antagonizes the effects of Heparin which is negatively charged at physiological pH.

_______ is expressed in both the intestinal
epithelium and the kidney.
Explanation:
CYP3A4 is involved in the metabolism of majority of drugs and is also expressed extrahepatically. In fact, poor bioavailability of many drugs is attributed to the drug metabolism by CYP3A4 in gastrointestinal tract.
