Explanation:
The enzymes in your body help to perform very important tasks. These include building muscle, destroying toxins, and breaking down food particles during digestion. ... For example, enzymes are required for proper digestive system function. Digestive enzymes are mostly produced in the pancreas, stomach, and small intestine
Here are examples of some of the more prevalent types of enzymes.
Amylase:
Amylase is a digestive enzyme essential for our digestion of carbohydrates, as amylase breaks down starches into sugars. Amylase is secreted by both our salivary glands and from our pancreas. The measurement of amylase levels in the blood is sometimes used as an aid in diagnosing various pancreas or other digestive tract diseases.
Lactase:
Lactase is a type of enzyme that breaks down the sugar, lactose, found in dairy products. Supplemental lactase may be used to assist people who are lactose intolerant to digest dairy products.
Lipase:
Lipase is the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of fats that we consume. Specifically, lipase breaks fats into fatty acids and glycerol (simple sugar alcohol). Within your body, lipase is produced in small amounts by your mouth and stomach, and in larger amounts by your pancreas.
Maltase:
Maltase is secreted by the small intestine and is responsible for breaking down maltose (malt sugar).
Proteases:
Proteases are digestive enzymes that break down proteins into amino acids.
Sucrase:
Sucrase is secreted by the small intestine where it breaks down sucrose into the simpler sugars of fructose and glucose.
Hope it helps!
