摘要
Acute pancreatitis results in many deaths each year. Our understanding of the pathophysiology is limited. To better understand the impact of apoptosis versus necrosis, we compared cerulein-induced pancreatitis is Fas-deficient (MRL lpr/lpr) versus Fas-sufficient (MRL +/+) mice. Average amylase values in Fas-deficient mice were substantially greater than in the Fas-sufficient mouse. Histoloty graded on edema, inflammation, vacuolization, and necrosis showed greater injury in the Fas-deficient mouse. This findings suggests that the Fas pathway is important in controlling cerulein-induced pancreatitis.
