Protease and Lipase are both enzymes that are secreted during digestion. Protease enzymes break down proteins into amino acids, which can then be used by the body for growth and repair. Lipase enzymes break down lipids (fats and oils) into glycerol and fatty acid chains; which form cell membranes and can be respired to release a lot of energy (double the amount per mole of carbohydrate.

What can inhibit lipase?

Orlistat is one chemical that can inhibit the activity of enzyme lipase. Higher version of orlistat which is only available through prescription is Xenicol.

Certain drugs resist the activity of those enzymes and fat is passed through the system unabsorbed.
