What Are the Consequences of Enteropeptidase Inhibition?
Inhibition of enteropeptidase can lead to a cascade of digestive issues, primarily due to the reduced activation of trypsin. This can result in protein malabsorption, leading to nutritional deficiencies. In a toxicological context, impaired enzyme function may affect the detoxification pathways for certain xenobiotics, potentially increasing their toxic effects. Chronic inhibition could also exacerbate conditions related to poor protein digestion.
