In case of endocrine system, the hormone influences the target organ. Excess production of hormone might induce the target organ to produce the inhibin which goes back to the hormone producing cell or its controlling point and asks it to stop producing the hormone.
In case of enzymatic/ metabolic pathway, the end product goes back to the first enzyme of the pathway and acts as the inhibitor by binding to the allosteric site.

The endocrine system is regulated by feedback inhibition, also known as a negative feedback loop. What these terms mean is that a hormone causes its target to secrete a second hormone. This second hormone, in turn, acts back to shut off production of the first hormone.

I'd choose the thyroid gland as an example it's a nice one. A link attached or that too:
