Lipid Breakdown. Enzymes called pancreatic lipases break lipids in your food down into smaller pieces; you absorb these through your small intestine into your bloodstream, and cells either burn them or store them as body fat.

Many different enzymes are involved in breaking down lipids for energy at the cellular level -- these burn lipids, producing carbon dioxide and water.
