Pancreatic Enzymes

The pancreas is an organ located in the abdomen behind the stomach and produces a variety of digestive enzymes that are necessary for the breakdown and absorption of food. The two major pancreatic enzymes are amylase and lipase. These enzymes are secreted into the small intestine, where they break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into molecules that can be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates into simple sugars, such as glucose and fructose. It is secreted by the salivary glands and the pancreas and is found in saliva and pancreatic juices. Amylase is essential for the digestion of starches and other complex carbohydrates.

Lipase is an enzyme that breaks down fats into smaller molecules, such as fatty acids and glycerol. It is secreted by the pancreas and is found in pancreatic juices. Lipase is essential for the digestion of fats and other lipids.
