Enzymes are not the main cause of breaking down fats, and in Biology fats are used as a good energy source for cells. The main way you break down fats is when you are hungry your pancreas releases a hormone into the bloodstream called glucagon. This allows the release of fats to be used by your cells for energy.
If you worried that you are not effectively breaking down fats, then you should eat more vitamins and minerals, from Vegetables or Fruits and maybe cut down on the fatty proteins and eat lean meat like chicken.
What else can I help you with?
What enzyme begins the breakdown?
Lipase
Is bile an enzyme specifically used for the chemical breakdown of fat?
Bile is not an enzyme, but an emulsifying agent. It physically breaks down fat into smaller molecules, providing a greater surface area for the work of fat-digesting enzymes.
Which mechanism is important for the digestion of fat in foods?
The breakdown of fat in foods is primarily facilitated by enzymes called lipases, which work to hydrolyze triglycerides into their component fatty acids and glycerol. Bile acids are also essential for fat digestion as they help emulsify fat globules into smaller droplets, increasing the surface area for lipase action.
What foods contain fatty acids?
None - because fatty acids (and glycerol) are the product of foods containing fat when they have been digested by the lipase enzyme.
What are the organic substances that enhance the breakdown of protein carbohydrates and fat?
Vitamins are organic substances that enhance the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Without vitamins, the breakdown and assimilation (the taking in of nutrient material) of foods would not occur.
What enzyme speeds up the breakdown of food?
It varies for all the food groups. For fat/lipid lipase breaks down,for proteins pepsin breaks down and for carbohydrates amylase.
Is cantaloupe fat burning?
From the JennyCraig.com website:Myth: Certain foods can help burn fat.Fact: There are no foods with magic fat-burning ingredients. Some foods with caffeine temporarily speed up your metabolism, but probably not enough to lead to weight loss.
IS FAT A HORMONE OR ENZYME?
No it is not a hormone or an enzyme. It is a type of molecules
What enzyme is responsible for fat digestion?
the lipase enzyme :)
What are the foods that I should eat as part of the burning fat diet?
Foods such as citrus fruits are proven to be helpful in aiding the body to break down fat. The acidity of these fruits makes the blood more acidic, and fat is broken down much more easily. Also, eating foods that are low in fat can speed up the weight-loss process.
What enzyme is responsible for breaking down fat in the body?
The enzyme responsible for breaking down fat in the body is called lipase.
What kind of people run a higher risk of getting a heartatack?
Genetic predilection High fat or fried foods and other bad fat choices Low use of enzyme foods (raw veges) Over weight No exercise Drugs and alcohol use Stress Injury to chest
