By the term endogenous protein metabolism is meant the disintegration of those proteins which already exist as components of living cells (tissue proteins).
In vivo degradation of toxins
This invention generally relates to a technique for degrading systemic toxins in vivo by enhancing the metabolic function of the lungs. Such a technique involves introducing a composition into the lung tissue of a subject, the composition comprising at least one enzyme known to enzymatically break down at least one toxin systemically present in the subject's body. The provided technique enables the lungs to act as a modulated metabolic organ, thereby promoting the removal of toxins from the systemic circulation of a subject, such as a subject suffering from a condition leading to the accumulation of toxins or endogenous metabolites, or a subject who has ingested toxic substances.
