Chymotrypsin is from the activation of chymotrypsinogen and trypsin from activation of trypsinogen.

On being absorbed, the enzymes are taken up by the circulating enzyme inhibitors i.e. alpha antitrypsin and alpha 2 macroglobulins, whose levels rise steeply following injury and tissue destruction. This rise in inhibitor levels is responsible for the period of operative fibrinolytic shutdown and maintenance of inflammatory edema which delays healing. These also facilitate the action of plasmin which is necessary to open up the blocked microcirculation, resolve edema and initiate healing.
