Chemical alterations can arise from various factors, including:
Genetic Mutations: Changes in DNA can affect protein expression and function, leading to chemical alterations in tissues. Environmental Factors: Exposure to toxins, radiation, and other environmental stressors can induce chemical changes. Disease States: Conditions such as cancer, inflammation, and metabolic disorders can cause significant biochemical alterations in tissues. Aging: Natural aging processes can lead to changes in the chemical composition of cells and tissues. Drug Treatments: Medications can alter the chemical environment of tissues as part of their therapeutic effects or side effects.
