Increasing incidence of acute pancreatitis at an American pediatric tertiary care center: is greater awareness among physicians responsible?

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Green tea polyphenols (GTPs) are naturally occurring antioxidants acting through pathways that include reactive oxygen species and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB). This study investigates the effect of GTPs in a cerulein-induced murine model of acute pancreatitis (AP). METHODS:Male CD mice (median weight,...
