Metabij is the rate of metabolism for chemical j in tissue group i; liver, being the principal organ for metabolism would have significant metabolism and, with some exception, usually Metabij is equal to zero in other tissue groups.

In that sense, PBPK modeling is a very good hypothesis-testing tool in toxicology and it may be utilized to conduct many different kinds of experiments on computer (i.e., in silico toxicology)
