How do Therapeutic Targets Influence Treatment Strategies?
Once a therapeutic target is identified, it can be used to develop specific treatment strategies. For example, if a specific enzyme is known to be involved in the metabolism of a toxic substance, inhibitors or inducers of that enzyme can be used to modify the substance's toxicity. Similarly, if a receptor is involved in mediating the toxic effects, antagonists or agonists can be developed to block or enhance its activity.
