The following information is about Enzymes.
Enzymes Defined
A special type of protein. Enzymes help the body's chemistry work better and more quickly. Each enzyme usually has its own chemical job to do such as helping to change starch into glucose (sugar).
This definition is in context to Diabetes. See more contextual defintions for Enzymes.

Living without a pancreas requires use of medicines
Published August 28, 2008, 8:19 am, Chattanooga Times Free Press
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Twenty-five years ago I had a Whipple operation. My pancreas was removed. The doctor told me I had one year to live. Well, I outlived him. I have to take insulin and digestive pills, but other than that I have no other medicines, and I feel quite well. I’m better off than most of my friends. I just turned 84. How long do people usually live without a pancreas? — W.A.

Novel Trial Design Aims to Speed Drug Development Researchers propose a novel multi-arm trial design that can test several therapies simultaneously and could speed drug development in cancer. Scientists have gained important insights into the biological underpinnings of cancer, but this knowledge has not led to a jump in the number of therapies approved for clinical use.

- Enzyme manipulation could give grape-flavored bananas: >>>DA H Probably just a muse but really high tech stuff - vannila flavoured pumpkin?>&g t;>EXTRACT Genetic manipulation of enzymes in plants responsible for aromas in fruit and vegetable may enable fine tuning of flavours, suggests new research in Nature. Researchers from the University of Texas report that manipulation of the hydroperoxide lyase (HPL) enzyme can change the production of green leaf volatiles (GLV) that give characteristic aromas to fruits and vegetables. ?Genetic engineering/mo dification (GM) of green leaf volatile production has important implications for manipulating food flavour," said Professor C.S. Raman, the senior author of the study. "For example, the aroma of virgin olive oil stems from the volatiles synthesized by olives. By modifying the activity of enzymes that generate these substances, it may be possible to alter the flavour of the resulting oils."
