nonmetabolized
Bypassed by enzymes
Nonmetabolized describes a substance that has not been broken down or chemically transformed by the body's metabolic processes.
When a drug or compound passes through the system nonmetabolized, it remains in its original form rather than being converted into different molecules by enzymes in the liver or other tissues.
The nonmetabolized portion of the medication was excreted unchanged in the urine.
