← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome results when protease inhibitors block snake's venom?
A)Reduced venom-induced hemorrhage✓
B)Increased nerve signal transmission
C)Enhanced muscle tissue catabolism
D)Diminished cardiac muscle contraction
💡 Explanation
Reduced hemorrhage occurs because protease inhibitors directly impede the proteolysis mechanism of venom-induced breakdown of factor X in the victim's blood, therefore preventing clotting. Rather than altering nerve or muscle function, the mechanism reduces the impact of proteolytic components.
