Thoracic duct ligation in the rat attenuates lung injuries in acute pancreatitis.
RatChemical/toxinWistarMalen = 34 rats: thoracic duct ligation n=8, acute pancreatitis n=8…Ligation performed two days before induction of pancreatitis
Model: Cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis with secondary lung injury
Prior thoracic duct ligation attenuated lung damage, myeloperoxidase activity, IL-6 and angiopoietin-2 in cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis, while pancreatic and ileal damage were unchanged.
