They are secreted (released) by the salivary glands and cells lining the stomach, pancreas, and small intestine. There are several digestive enzymes, including amylase, maltase, lactase, lipase, ...

Introduction: This longitudinal study investigates to what extent salivary alpha-amylase (as an index of the activation of the sympathetic nervous system, SNS), salivary cortisol (as an index of the ...

It explores the natural compounds and the potential α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory actions of stem extracts. The aqueous stem extract was selected from other extracts (ethanol, acetone, ...

Methods: After 7 hourly supramaximal injections of caerulein, the pancreas was evaluated histologically and serum was assayed for amylase and lipase levels. Next, the effects of caerulein on amylase ...

Sensory scores for saltiness and thickness obtained for savory liquids thickened with starches or the nonstarch hydrocolloid hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) were correlated with the panelists' ...

Starch provides the major source of caloric intake in many diets. Cleavage of starch into malto-oligosaccharides in the gut is catalyzed by pancreatic α-amylase. These oligosaccharides are then ...

Amylases are among the most important enzymes used in modern biotechnology particularly in the process involving starch hydrolysis. Fungal amylase has large applications in food and pharmaceutical ...

Gut health is fundamental to our well-being in general. From digesting and assimilating nutrients from the food we eat to ...

In women presenting with severe nausea and vomiting in the first trimester, consider obtaining amylase, lipase levels, and liver function tests, which when elevated are diagnostic for pancreatitis.

Comparable to observations during treatment with GLP-1RA, symptom-free elevations of pancreatic enzyme concentrations for amylase and lipase were seen in the above-mentioned SURPASS studies (61). As ...
