What medicines or herbs effect amylase levels.
Amylase, Protease And Lipase
"Amylase serum levels will rise with chronic pancreatitis." I am currently researching the effects on serum amylase and lipase in relation pancreatitis as part of a college course I am taking. What I have learned is that the amylase level will be elevated in ACUTE pancreatitis, but will be below the "normal" range in CHRONIC pancreatitis. In addition the lipase levels "parallel" the amylase levels, but lipase is a bit slower to rise and fall. They both elevate with acute pancreatitis, and both fall below "normal" range with chronic pancreatitis. One of my best references in researching these lab values inrelation to pancreatitis is the National Institute of Health (NIH) website.
Lipase appears in the blood together with another enzyme called amylase following damage to or diseases affecting the pancreas. It was once thought that abnormally high lipase levels were associated only with diseases of the pancreas.
The basic food group that amylase capable of digesting is protein, and the lipase is lipids The basic food group that amylase capable of digesting is protein, and the lipase is lipids
The Pancreas
Lipase and amylase require an alkaline environment such as what is found in the duodenum of the small intestine. Pepsin functions in the acidic environment of the stomach.

Amylase has a shap which allows it to wrap around and cut up starch. Lipase breaks down the fat to fatty acids and glycerol Amylase has a shap which allows it to wrap around and cut up starch. Lipase breaks down the fat to fatty acids and glycerol
Lipase is the enzyme that digests fats and oils (lipids). Low levels of lipase means the body cannot digest lipids. The affected person is most probably underweight, and cannot put on weight easily. Other symptoms are smelly & floating stools and gas.
They are enzymes in the body, amylase breaks down sugars and lipase breaks down fats.
