The stomach has two distinct divisions: Fundus (upper part) and Pylorus (lower part). The eaten food remains in the upper part for approximately one hour. This is where predigestion takes place. The fundus is where digestive food enzymes begin to break down the food into carbohydrates, fats and protein. Raw foods supply their own digestive enzymes, thus saving the stomach from supplying all the enzymes.

If this were true, the enzymes produced by your own body would have already digested you away. These enzymes much prefer the denatured (cooked or damaged) proteins found in foods. Most proteins, in their healthy state, are coiled and globular in structure. This prevents the enzymes from having access to cleavage sites. When heated or in extremes of pH (like stomach acid), the proteins uncoil, exposing sites where the enzyme can bind and cleave. See similar questions...

Gastric acidity is the term used to refer to the acid content of the stomach. Most of this acidity is due to the presence of hydrocholoric acid secreted by the mucosa (lining) of the stomach. The clinical laboratory can make two kinds of determinations involving gastric acidity: the concentration of acid in the stomach contents and the rate of acid output by the mucosa. Sorensen developed a scale to use in measuring the H+ concentration. See similar questions...

The Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) regulates enzymes. The FCC is published by the National Academy Press, which is funded by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council. The FCC establishes the standards for food and food substances used in food processing. It is the only national standard for the evaluation of fungal enzymes. Not all enzyme manufacturers use FCC units and are not required to do so by law. See similar questions...

Enzymes are one of the most essential elements in our body. They are responsible for constructing, synthesizing, carrying, dispensing, delivering, and eliminating the many ingredients and chemicals our body uses in its daily business of living. Digestive enzymes break down the food we eat, releasing nutrients for energy production and cell growth and repair. [back to top] See similar questions...

The reason we are running out of enzymes is a LIFESTYLE PROBLEM. Research has shown that older people and people with chronic disease have fewer enzymes in their saliva, urine and tissues. Our poor dietary habits require excessive amounts of enzymes to digest our foods. Stress kills and damages cells, resulting in our enzyme-making machinery having to work overtime to help rebuild and replace them. See similar questions...

When speaking about digestive enzyme formulas, no. As active protein molecules, the enzymes do not accumulate in the body. They impart enzymatic activity that lasts anywhere from one to four hours and then they are eliminated from the body or the proteins are broken down and the amino acids are used for other purposes. As with any herbal or nutritional supplement, evaluation of amounts and over consumption should be determined on an individual basis. [back to top] See similar questions...

Enzymes are substances, which make life possible. They are proteins needed for every chemical reaction that occurs in the body, functioning as catalysts that either start chemical reactions or make them run faster. Without enzymes, no activity at all would take place. Vitamins, minerals and hormones could do no work - without enzymes. See similar questions...

While we will do everything we can to save each of our patients, we know that many will not survive. This does not mean we have failed- we learn as much as we can from every case so that we can apply that knowledge to future cases. A full necropsy will be performed to find out why the animal died, what treatments worked, which ones did not, and what we might try in the future. See similar questions...

Yay. I made a translator! Or two! And I uploaded them! **fiddles around, realizes someone has switched the period and exclamation point keys on his keyboard** Check it out at my random online stuff site. Anybody seen QoC lately? I haven't heard from her for a week, now...by email, phone, or RPG... -- Tim, 22:29:57 06/30/03 Mon Me pretty Matrix RPG is done. Well, technically it's not *done*--is any RPG ever 'done'?--but the boards you need are there. I wish I coulda gone to Surf Camp. See similar questions...
