though lipase is a more specific marker, amylase appears earlier

I disagree-pages 189 and 190 of [BRS Physio] state that
alpha amylase and lingual lipse are used in initial digestion!! :roll:

yes, amylase,lipase and kellikrein found in saliva also.
In acute pancreatitis serum lipase rises after 72 hrs ,whereas amylase appears just after 1 day

Thank you- and while we are at it I see that aldostrerone also works at the ducts in much the same way it does in renal tubules.
