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...
متن کاملPossible involvement of 5-HT2 receptor activation in aggravation of diet-induced acute pancreatitis in mice.
Acute pancreatitis was induced in mice by feeding with a choline-deficient ethionine-supplemented diet. All the mice developed acute pancreatitis, and approximately 80% of them died within 4 days. Stereomicroscopic and light microscopic examinations revealed that pancreatic necrosis and circulatory disturbance that were not apparent on day 1 were increased markedly on days 2 and 3. Serum levels...

Objective: Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial activities of Tribulus terrestris (T. terrestris) could be helpful in the treatment of acute pancreatitis; thus, this study was designed to investigate the effects of T. terrestris on cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in mice. Materials and Methods: Three doses (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) of T. terrestris hydro-alcoholic extr...
متن کاملpossible beneficial effects of lithium chloride on cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in mice
one of the most important and serious disorders of gastrointestinal tract is acute pancreatitis which in severe form is associated with high mortality rate particularly in the presence of systemic inflammatory response and multiple organ failure. apoptosis linked to oxidative stress has been shown in the pancreas of the patients with acute pancreatitis. lithium, one of the most effective drugs ...
متن کاملThe endogenous scavengers in cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis.
Studies in animal models suggest that oxygen radicals are important in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis. Cerulein, a decapeptide isolated from the skin of the frog, Hyla caerula, is closely related to the C-terminus of cholecystokinin and it is a potent stimulant of pancreatic exocrine secretion. The aim of the present study was to measure the activity of endogenous scavengers, superoxide...
