Abstract:

OBJECTIVES: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas with high morbidity and mortality. This study investigates the effect of(MO) on L-arginine-induced AP in Wistar rats.

METHODS: Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into seven groups. Control, AP, Magnesium groups, all fed with standard rat diet, MO leaf groups (5% MLF and 15% MLF), and MO seed groups (5% MSD and 15% MSD) were fed with five or 15% MO leaf or seed supplemented diet for four weeks prior to induction of AP. AP was induced by administration of double doses of L-arginine (320 mg/100 g i.p.) at 1 h interval. All animals were sacrificed 72 h thereafter.

RESULTS: Weekly mean feed consumption and body weight were significantly higher in MO groups compared to the control. Amylase level, MDA, MPO, and NO were significantly higher in the AP group than in the control but decreased in Mg and MO groups. While CAT, SOD, GSH, and SH-group were significantly depleted in AP groups, which was attenuated in MO groups. Rats in AP groups showed severe inflammation, necrosis, and edema. These effects were significantly improved in MO groups resulting in lower histological scores compared to the AP group.

CONCLUSIONS: Pretreatment with MO could attenuate AP via its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action.
