Influence of anoxia, reoxygenation, and uncoupling on survival, respiration, and Trypsin-Inhibiting capacity of isolated pancreatic acinar cells

摘要

In the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis, the events and mechanisms increasing the digestibility of the pancreatic acinar cells are widely unknown. Therefore, the possible contribution of a disturbed energy supply (provoked by anoxia or partial uncoupling) to the induction of autodigestion was studied in experiments on acinar cells isolated from the pancreas. During incubation viability, respiration under normal and maximally stimulated conditions, and trypsin-inhibiting capacity (TIC) of these cells were determined.
