Amylase

Amylase is an enzyme primarily produced by the pancreas and salivary glands that catalyzes the breakdown of starch into simple sugars. Elevated or decreased levels in blood tests can indicate pancreatic disorders, such as pancreatitis or pancreatic insufficiency.

Lipase

Lipase is a pancreatic enzyme responsible for breaking down dietary fats into glycerol and free fatty acids for absorption. It plays a crucial role in digestion, and abnormal blood levels are often linked to pancreatic diseases, including pancreatitis.
