effect of lithium chloride on cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in mice

Possible involvement of endogenous 5-HT in aggravation of cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in mice.

The aim of the present study was to elucidate the pathogenic role of endogenous 5-HT in pancreatitis. Injections of cerulein at hourly intervals caused edematous pancreatitis in mice characterized by hyperenzymemia and histological alterations. While the cerulein-induced hyperenzymemia was attenuated in mice pretreated with p-CPA, a 5-HT depletor, it was exaggerated by the preferential 5-HT2A a...
