Noxin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Noxins (Sing .: Noxin) are toxins that arise from dead body proteins , for example in the case of infectious diseases, radiation or toxic damage to tissue cells. Noxins can damage the capillaries, cause edema, as well as cause liver damage and other diseases. In contrast to toxins , noxins arise from the body's own protein and, by definition, are not formed by foreign organisms.
