متن کاملEnvironmental and Genetic Stressors and the Unfolded Protein Response in Exocrine Pancreatic Function – A Hypothesis
The exocrine pancreas has the greatest protein synthetic capacity of any mammalian organ and is challenged with the synthesis, processing and transporting a large load of digestive enzymes. Based on recent findings we present a hypothesis proposing that mutations in the digestive enzymes and environmental risks impacting the pancreas (i.e., alcohol abuse, smoking, metabolic disorders, and drugs...
متن کاملسرطان پانکراس
Carcinoma of the pancreas is a lethal tumor, and majority of patients have a mean life expectancy of about two and a half months with a 5 year survival of 1-2%. Even in small presumed curable cases survival rarely extends beyound 2years. The prevalence of this tumor is higher in males. The known risk factors included: smoking, alcohol, high animal protein and fats in diet, nitrosamines and hist...
متن کاملRole of Alcohol Metabolism in Chronic Pancreatitis
Alcohol abuse is the major cause of chronic inflammation of the pancreas (i.e., chronic pancreatitis). Although it has long been thought that alcoholic pancreatitis is a chronic disease from the outset, evidence is accumulating to indicate that chronic damage in the pancreas may result from repeated attacks of acute tissue inflammation and death (i.e., necroinflammation). Initially, research in...
