Detailed explanation-1: -Pancreatic acinar cell secretion results in three major categories of enzymes: Amylolytic, lipolytic and proteolytic enzymes which are capable of using carbohydrates, fats and proteins respectively.
Detailed explanation-2: -In addition to the proteases, lipase and amylase, the pancreas produces a host of other digestive enzymes, including ribonuclease, deoxyribonuclease, gelatinase and elastase.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pancreatic proteolytic enzymes include trypsin, chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase; these enzymes are secreted as zymogens, inactive precursors of the enzymes, and are activated in the lumen of the digestive canal.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are six FDA approved pancreatic enzymes, which are available by prescription only: Creon, Pancreaze, Zenpep, Ultresa, Viokace, and Pertzye.
