Amylase
Amylase is an enzyme produced by the pancreas and salivary glands that helps digest carbohydrates. High levels of amylase in the blood may indicate pancreatitis or other pancreatic disorders.
iollo markers that associate with Amylase
Alanine
Alanine is an amino acid that can be released from the pancreas during pancreatitis, a condition that causes elevated amylase levels.

Lactic acid
Lactic acid may be elevated in acute pancreatitis due to impaired blood flow to the pancreas, correlating with increased amylase levels from pancreatic cell damage.
