In animals, lipases are produced to aid in the digestion of lipid-containing diet. ... The pancreatic lipase (also referred to as pancreatic triacylglycerol lipase) is the fat-splitting enzyme secreted by the pancreas. Ithydrolyzes triacylglycerol (triglyceride) to produce simpler glyceride unit and...
What is the biological process that does this? Explain why a gallstone located in the bile duct at a point distal to the entry of the pancreatic duct might result in elevations of serum amylase and serum lipase and abdominal pain. What is the function of trypsin in the human ...
Which of the following macromolecules is the target of pancreatic lipase? A. Carbohydrate B. Lipid C. Protein What type of adipose cell contains mitochondria? Which of the following substances may easily cross the lipid bilayer (i.e., just the lipid bilayer, without any membrane proteins p...
What structure empties enzymes produced in the pancreas into the duodenum? Which enzyme is responsible for carbohydrate digestion in the small intestine? Where is the energy "located" in a glucose molecule when is the energy harvested during cellular respiration? Which layer of the digestive tract i...
GLP-1 is secreted from L cells located in the lower small intestine and colon, GIP from K cells located in the proximal small intestine, and glucagon from α-cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. GLP-1 suppresses appetite and reduces energy intake, while GIP has no effect on dietary...
Dopamine is well recognized as a neurotransmitter in the brain, and regulates critical functions in a variety of peripheral systems. Growing research has also shown that dopamine acts as an important regulator of immune function. Many immune cells express dopamine receptors and other dopamine related ...
