Lipase inhibitors can be found naturally in plants and can be clinically modified to drugs.
Lipase may cause thawed milk to taste soapy or rancid due to milk fat breakdown.
Its function is to prevent the inhibitory effect of bile salts on the lipase-catalyzed intraduodenal hydrolysis of dietary long-chain triglycerides.
Lipase is a digestive enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of lipids (fats).
In one large study, there were no patients with pancreatitis who had an elevated amylase with a normal lipase.
It is composed of amylase, lipase and protease.
These lipases, unlike alkaline lipases (such as pancreatic lipase), do not require bile acid or colipase for optimal enzymatic activity.
The enzyme is called human gastric lipase, and if all goes well, the product will be generally available by 1994.
