What Factors Affect Enzyme Concentration in Tissues?
Several factors can influence enzyme concentration in tissues, including:
Genetic factors: Mutations and genetic variations can affect enzyme production. Environmental factors: Temperature, pH, and the presence of inhibitors or activators can impact enzyme levels. Nutritional status: Availability of substrates and cofactors can affect enzyme activity. Disease states: Conditions like cancer, infection, and metabolic disorders can alter enzyme concentrations.
