Question

What would happen if there was an imbalance of certain enzymes in the body?

Answer 1

Enzymes are highly specific and incredibly efficient biological catalysts. For a matter a fact the human body would not exist without enzymes because the chemical reactions required to maintain the body would notoccur fast enough. ... Enzymes in your digestive system belong to an enzyme class called hydrolase.

Answer 2

The cells of your body are capable of making many different enzymes, and at first you might think: great, let’s crank all of those enzymes up and metabolize as fast as possible! As it turns out, though, you really don’t want to produce and activate all of those enzymes at the same time, or in the same cell.

Needs and conditions vary from cell to cell and change in individual cells over time. For instance, stomach cells need different enzymes than fat storage cells, skin cells, blood cells, or nerve cells. Also, a digestive cell works much harder to process and break down nutrients during the time that follows a meal as compared with many hours after a meal. As these cellular demands and conditions changes, so do the amounts and functionality of different enzymes..
