feedback regulation A process by which the product of a metabolic pathway influences its own production by controlling the amount and/or activity of one or more enzymes involved in the pathway. This influence is commonly inhibitory and is called negative feedback; this is a common form of homoeostatic control (see HOMOEOSTASIS). Positive feedback (e.g. in courtship rituals) leads to an increase in the amount and/or activity of enzymes.
