lipase

Converse of object

• call: In acute pancreatitis, elevated amylase levels usually parallel levels of another enzyme called lipase.
• produce: Bacillus stearothermophilus Thermophilic species which grows at 65 °C; produces lipase and protease.
• mobilize: Mobilizing lipase ( = hormone-sensitive lipase ) is the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of stored triglyceride during fasting in response to circulating adrenaline.

Adjective modifier

• pancreatic: Lipids are converted into an coarse emulsion in the stomach, and into a fine emulsion in the duodenum by pancreatic lipases.
• hormone-sensitive: Mobilizing lipase ( = hormone-sensitive lipase ) is the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of stored triglyceride during fasting in response to circulating adrenaline.
• gastric: Production of human gastric lipase in the fission yeast.

Modifies a noun

• inhibitor: The intestinal lipase inhibitor orlistat reduces the uptake of fat from the diet.
• enzyme: This increases the surface area of fats for lipase enzymes to act upon.
• level: In acute pancreatitis, lipase levels are very high, often 2 to 5 times normal.
• activity: By reducing the lipase activity more fat passes through the intestine and is not absorbed.
• value: Slightly high lipase values may occur in other conditions such as kidney disease, salivary gland inflammation, or peptic ulcer disease.
• gene: We will explore the requirement of PUFAs for phototransduction in vivo by generating and characterizing mutants of a novel putative DAG lipase gene.

Noun used with modifier

• lipoprotein: One caveat, tho, is that lipoprotein lipase and HDL production are probably subject to genetic control.
• enzyme: Human milk contains the enzyme lipase which helps the baby digest milk fat more efficiently.
• serum: The serum lipase level is more accurate and a better marker for alcoholic pancreatitis.
