What Role Do Enzymes Play in Metabolic Parameters?
Enzymes are central to the metabolism of toxicants. They facilitate the conversion of toxicants into more water-soluble compounds that can be excreted. The most significant enzymes in this process are the cytochrome P450 family. Variations in enzyme activity, whether due to genetic factors, disease states, or interaction with other substances, can lead to differences in how individuals metabolize and respond to toxicants.
