What are Some Examples of Inhibitors in Toxicology?
In toxicology, inhibitors can be substances that are either naturally occurring or synthetic. Examples include:
Pharmaceutical Inhibitors: Many drugs act as inhibitors, such as statins, which inhibit cholesterol synthesis, or NSAIDs, which inhibit inflammation. Environmental Inhibitors: Chemicals such as organophosphates can inhibit vital enzymes, leading to toxic effects in organisms.
