Enzyme induction

Enzyme induction is a biological process where the body increases the production of specific enzymes in response to certain substances, like medications or environmental factors. This usually happens to help break down and eliminate these substances more effectively. For example, when you take a drug, your liver might produce more enzymes to metabolize it faster. While this can help the body process medications, it can also affect how other drugs work, potentially leading to reduced effectiveness or increased side effects. Essentially, it's the body's way of adapting to what it encounters.
