Quali sono gli enzimi pancreatici?

Gli enzimi proteolitici presenti nel succo pancreatico (tripsinogeno, chimotripsinogeno, pro-elastasi, pro-carbossipeptidasi) sono secreti come zimogeni, quindi in forma inattiva, per evitare che digeriscano, danneggiando, le stesse cellule che li hanno prodotti (come avviene nelle pancreatiti).

Quando prendere gli enzimi pancreatici?

Gli enzimi pancreatici vanno assunti secondo la dose prescritta dal centro di cura e ad ogni pasto, frazionati almeno a inizio e metà pasto. Con un trattamento corretto le feci dovrebbero apparire ben formate e non abbondanti e la crescita del peso dovrebbe essere regolare, senza arresti o rallentamenti.

What is the difference between pancreatin and pancreatrelipase?

• Pancrelipases and pancreatins are similar, except pancrelipases has an increased lipase component. Pancreatin is a mixture of several digestive enzymes produced by the exocrine cells of the pancreas. It is composed of amylase, lipase and protease.
