What conditions can reduce the amount of your enzymes?
Digestive diseases such as celiac disease and tropical sprue (which affect absorption in the intestine), as well as intestinal infections and injuries, can reduce the amount of enzymes produced.
What enzymes are present in human bodies?
There is a huge amount of enzyme types in the human body. We have digestive enzymes such as pepsinogen, cardiac enzymes such as Trop-I, liver enzymes such as GGT. If you are curious of enzymes in the human body I suggest you look at specific systems or organs. An example would be to ask the internets about "pancreatic enzymes".
How to lower tolerance to medication when it's rapid onset after just a few doses?
You must increase the amount of enzymes in your digestive system. The longer you take certain drugs or medications, the lower your enzyme count becomes. Enzymes motabolize and process drugs such as opioids. The more enzymes, the lower your tolerance to medication.
Why are enzymes?
Enzymes are important because they initiate and regulate biological activity. Enzymes are biological catalysts which means that they speed up chemical reactions inside and outside cells.For example, the digestive enzyme amylase, found in the saliva, breaks down starch into smaller molecules so that it can be absorbed into the blood. Similarly, lipase breaks down lipids (fats) into smaller fat globules, so that they can also be absorbed into the blood. Enzymes allow the body to maintain all of its many cellular and metabolic processes.Without the assistance of digestive enzymes, many of the nutrients in food would not be made available to the body.More than 5000 enzymes are known. To name different enzymes, one typically uses the ending -ase with the name of the chemical being transformed (substrate), e.g., lactase is the enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of lactose.Each enzyme performs one specific process, so 5000 enzymes will do 5000 different things in the body.What kind of food contains more enzymes? Raw fish, meats, vegetables, fruits and specially fermented foods contain a greater amount of enzymes. hope i helped
What is produced in the pancreas?
It produces and secretes digestive enzyme and the body's supply of insulin. Without a pancreas, one would have to take a digestive enzyme with each meal and would have type 1 diabetes.The pancreas produces insulin to help the body digest the glucose that your body gets from your food.The pancreas produces pancreatic juice (which goes to the small intestine to help digestion) and hormones. The most common hormone that it produces is insulin; insulin regulates the amount of sugar in your blood.Pancreatic juice contains important enzymes such as lipase, amylase, trypsin, chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase. Lipase helps to breakdown the fat in you food and body. Amylase helps to break down the starch in your body. And the high concentration of biocarbonate ions in the carboxypeptidase neutralizes the acidic gastric juice.As you can see the pancreas is a very important organ to the human body.
Why are enzymes needed?
Because usually enzymes can help catalyze more than one substrate although they are specific. Enzymes are reusable (within reason) but do eventually wear out. Enzymes are efficient and don't need to be large to carry out their aid in the rate of chemical reaction processes.
What part of the digestive system produces insulin?
Insulin is not stored, the body makes it on demand. Also it is not part of the digestive system, rather it is a hormone regulating the amount of sugar in the blood (it does however kick in when you have eaten something). Insulin is made by the islets of Langerhans, which are the regions of the pancreas that contain its endocrine (i.e., hormone-producing) cells.
How does the amount of enzymes ect the reaction rate?
the more enzymes, the faster the reaction
What activates Trypsin?
Temperature - too cold the enzyme will still work but slowly, too hot and the enzyme will become denatured pH - different types of enzymes work best in different pH environments enzyme and substrate concentration - how many there is of each. eg. too many enzymes etcetera. enzyme inhibitors
What determinis the amount of output an economy produces?
haw the amount of output an economy produces can be determinis?
What is the average amount a tree produces?
Amount of what?
Does the pancreas help in the digestion of lipids?
The pancreas secretes important digestive enzymes (pancreatic amylase, pancreatic lipase, trypsin, and chymotrypsin) which empty into the duodenum (first part of the small intestine) to break down the carbohydrates, fats, and proteins we ingest.
