Lipase is an enzyme produced by the pancreas that helps digest fats. High levels of lipase in the blood may indicate pancreatitis or other pancreatic disorders.
Arachidonic acid is released from cell membranes by phospholipase A2 enzymes, which are activated by lipase. Elevated lipase may indicate increased arachidonic acid release.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid that can be released from cell membranes by lipase activity. High lipase levels may lead to increased DHA release.
