There are a number of enzymes in the liver that break down a wide variety of chemicals as part of your liver's detoxification system. We don't know what they all do, and our classification of them leaves much to be desired. They are literally called "cytochromes" because they come out of cells and are colored. Look, they were named before people knew what they did, OK?

Grapefruit juice slows down some of the action of Cytochrome 3A4. This in turn causes chemicals that are broken down by CYP3A4 to last longer in the blood, which means that if you take medication that would be cleared by the liver at regular intervals the amount left in your system will be higher than it's supposed to be when you take your next pill and you can overdose.
