The important enzymes required for digestion are the Proteolytic enzymes (proteases) which includes trypsin, chymotrypsin as well as the peptidases, elastase and cathepsins. They are capable of degrading up to 300 g proteins per hours. Then comes the Lipolytic enzymes (lipases) which can degrade up to 175 g fat per hour. In order to make this possible, the fat is first brought into solution by the bile, i.e. The liquid from the gallbladder. This solubilization of the fat is known as the emulsification. Finally, the Amylolytic enzymes (amylases) which are able to degrade up to 300 g carbohydrates per hour. An example is the vitamin K mandatory for blood coagulation. It has also been suggested that microorganisms present in the bowel, many also be important in the final enzymeassisted absorption of the certain vitamins and medications. For example the destruction of the microorganisms by antibiotics can contribute to vitamin B6 deficiency, or can lead to interference with the absorption of the birth control pills. Incidentally, some of these organisms are capable of bioluminescence, the enzymatically produced cold light we have already discussed. Weak lamps are thus continuously illuminating our bowels.
