From: Effects of hydrogen sulfide on inflammation in caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis
Effect of NaHS treatment on plasma amylase activity. Acute pancreatitis was induced by intraperitoneal administration of caerulein ((50 μg/kg, hourly for 10 h). Column labeled 'CTRL' refers to plasma amylase activity in mice injected intraperitoneal saline (not caerulein) as control. Column labeled 'Veh+Cae', 'N5+Cae', 'N10+Cae', 'N15+Cae' refers pretreatment with vehicle (DW) or different dosages of NaHS (5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg or 15 mg/kg respectively) administered intraperitoneal 1 h before the first injection of caerulein. Results shown are the mean ± SEM for 8-10 animals in each group. Asterisk (*): P < 0.05 c.f. CTRL group. Asterisk (#): P < 0.05 c.f. (Veh + Cae) group. Abbreviations used: CTRL: Control; Cae: Caerulein; Veh: Vehicle; N: NaHS.
