    Adrenomedullin reduces the severity of cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2007) DENİZBAŞI ALTINOK, ARZU; Onur, Ozge Ecmel; Guneysel, Ozlem; Akoglu, Haldun; Denizbasi, Arzu; Onur, Ender
    We investigated the effect of Adrenomedullin (AM) on cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in rats. AM treatment (100 ng/kg per rat, subcutaneous) after one hour of cerulein injection reduced the plasma amylase levels, pancreatic weight, pancreatic malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and the severity of the lesions microscopically. These data suggest that AM has a protective effect on cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis. These could be due to anti-inflammatory properties of AM, inhibition of proinflammatory cytokine secretion, reducing the endothelial permeability increased by reactive oxygen species, endotoxins or cytokines.
