What is another word for feedback inhibition?
Pronunciation: [fˈiːdbak ɪnhɪbˈɪʃən] (IPA) 
Feedback inhibition, also known as end-product inhibition, is a regulatory mechanism that helps maintain homeostasis by ensuring that metabolic pathways do not consume more resources than necessary. Inhibition of enzyme activity occurs when an excess of the end product is present, resulting in a decrease in enzyme activity. Other synonyms for feedback inhibition include negative feedback regulation, metabolic control, and metabolic inhibition. This process is essential in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms and is involved in various biological processes, including metabolism, protein synthesis, and gene expression. Understanding the intricacies of feedback inhibition can have a significant impact on medical and biological research, the development of new drugs, and the treatment of diseases.
