Inhibitor vs Antagonist - definition?

Posted by ricker on September 2, 2008, at 12:48:00

I'm trying to understand the terminology? I'll give my definition in very simple terms and see how far off I am?

Inhibitor - prevents the cell from releasing chemical, therefore there is an increase in volume/production.

Antagonist - increases the rate at which the chemical "circulates", but does not cause an increase in volume?

You can plainly see I don't have sound knowledge as to medicinal propertries :-).

If someone would clarify, in "real simple" terms, the definitions. That is, unless I'm right! LOL.

Thanks, Rick
