Ceruletide-induced acute pancreatitis in the dog and its amelioration by exogenous secretin

Abstract:
Large pharmacological doses of ceruletide administered to conscious dogs by intravenous (i.v.) infusion uniformly induce a severe acute necrotizing pancreatitis within 4 h. High-dose i.v. secretin administered for a period of 24 h after cessation of ceruletide infusion resulted in a significant amelioration of the acute pancreatitis compared to non-secretin-treated dogs with acute pancreatitis. Light microscopy of the pancreas in secretin-treated dogs revealed a significant decrease in edema, polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration, cell necrosis and acinar cell vacuolization. Serum amylase levels in secretin-treated dogs were significantly decreased compared to non-secretin-treated dogs. The results of this study suggest that high-dose i.v. secretin exerts a beneficial effect on pre-established, ceruletide-induced acute pancreatitis in dogs.

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.
