The same therapeutic utility might be obtained in patients with alcoholic pancreatic insufficiency. Abstract The discovery of lingual lipase, which is secreted by lingual serous glands and hydrolyzes medium- and long-chain triglycerides in the stomach, has renewed interest in the gastric phase of fat digestion.
