摘要: Bioregulators are naturally occurring organic compounds that regulate diverse cellular processes. Unlike traditional disease-causing biowarfare agents take hours or days to act, many bioregulators act within minutes of administration. If exploited for the purpose bioterrorism, they could potentially cause profound physiologic effects. Other effects may be more subtle. The main groups discussed cytokines; eicosanoids, neurotransmitters, hormones, and proteolytic enzymes. Because advances continually being made in their development, should considered as weapons with increasing bioterrorism potential.
