Lipase, Steapsin

Lipase and steapsin are enzymes that play an important role in the digestive process in humans and animals. They help break down fats into smaller molecules, allowing the body to absorb nutrients from food.

Lipase is one of the most important enzymes in the body. It is secreted by the pancreas and glands of the small intestine and is involved in the breakdown of fats into glycerol and fatty acids. This process occurs during digestion when lipase is released into the intestinal lumen and begins to work.

Steapsin is also an important enzyme for the breakdown of fats. It is secreted by the glands of the stomach and small intestine and helps the body absorb fatty acids from food. Steapsin works together with lipase to ensure more complete breakdown of fats.

Both enzymes are important for human and animal health. A lack of lipase and steapsin can lead to digestive disorders and poor absorption of nutrients from food. Therefore, it is important to monitor the levels of these enzymes in the blood and take appropriate measures if necessary.

**Lipase** is a specific digestive enzyme (enzyme) secreted by hepatocytes and pancreatic cells. The main role of the enzyme is to activate fats, breaking them down into fatty acids, glycerol and other metabolites. Based on the ability to carry out the biosynthesis of certain compounds, lipase is included in heterologous systems or contrast diagnostics of liver pathologies. Analysis of pancreatic enzymes allows us to assess the severity of diarrhea, determine the cause and predict the development of the disease. In addition to human lipase, the lipase lipase system is also isolated. Normally, these substances enhance each other’s effects.

A healthy person synthesizes up to 3 grams of lipase per day. 75% of enzymes are produced by the pancreas, the remaining 25% come from bile. Therefore, enzyme-biliary therapy for pancreatic dysfunction is the most common approach to the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. Less commonly, treatment is performed exclusively with enzyme
