How do Digestive Enzymes Influence Toxicity?

Digestive enzymes can modulate the toxicity of chemicals by affecting their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). For instance, enzymes like proteases, lipases, and amylases may break down toxicants, reducing their harmful effects. Conversely, they might also activate certain compounds, increasing toxicity.
