Abstract:
The aim of the present study was to establish a mouse model of acute hyperglycemia, which may be utilized to detect the glucose concentration-dependent hypoglycemic activity of the glucagon-like peptide-1 derivative, 6-KTP. The results demonstrated that the first 30 min following the intraperitoneal injection of 2 g/kg glucose into C57BL/6J mice was the optimum time for assessing the hypoglycemic activity of potential therapeutic methods for diabetes. There was a linear association between the dose of 6-KTP and hypoglycemic activity between 0.2 and 1.2 mg/kg. The resulting model may serve as template for developing cost-effective in vivo models to test similar therapeutics.

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
