BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis is among the few inflammatory diseases for which no specific pharmacological treatment is available. It has previously been shown that bile acids alter pancreatic ductal secretion and these effects are probably involved in the pathogenesis of bile-induced pancreatitis. OBJECTIVE To understand the mechanism responsible for bile-induced hypersecretion and, in particular, to identify the molecular target for bile acids in native pancreatic duct epithelial cells… CONTINUE READING
