Losartan-induced Pancreatitis

Familial hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute necrotizing pancreatitis: A case report

Acutepancreatitis can infrequently be a life-threatening complication of hypertriglyceridemia. Rarely, hypertriglyceridemia can originate from an inborn genetic error in lipoproteins metabolism. This condition can be manifested by very high serum triglyceride levels (>1000 mg/dl) and a more severe and lethal form of pancreatitis. Here, we present a case of acute pancreatic which was found out t...

Fetal microchimerism in mouse caerulein-induced pancreatitis model

Objective(s): Fetal microchimerism is the persistence of allogeneic cell population that transfer from the fetus to the mother. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of fetal microchimerism in the pancreas of the mouse with acute pancreatitis (AP).Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, female wild-type mice were mated with male EGFP+. AP model was obtained by injection ...

Stavudine-induced pancreatitis followed by lopinavir-ritonavir-induced pancreatitis.

Losartan treatment attenuates tumor-induced myocardial dysfunction.

UNLABELLED Fatigue and muscle wasting are common symptoms experienced by cancer patients. Data from animal models demonstrate that angiotensin is involved in tumor-induced muscle wasting, and that tumor growth can independently affect myocardial function, which could contribute to fatigue in cancer patients. In clinical studies, inhibitors of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) can prevent the ...
