which digestive juices contain enzymes that digest lipids?
Enzymes That Break Down Lipids. Lipase breaks down the lipids in food. Lipid is a biochemical word meaning fat.. In the course of your normal cellular function, your body breaks down fats regularly. This occurs both in the digestive tract and at the cellular level. Chemicals called enzymes help your digestive tract and cells break down lipids, but you can't use enzymes to force lipid breakdown or to lose body fat.
