Randomized trial demonstrates acute pancreatitis in rats using sodium taurocholate, indicating bile's role in its development.

This investigation aims to create a model for studying acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis and its pathogenesis.
Sodium taurocholate was injected into the pancreatic duct system of rats.
Histological examinations were performed on pancreatic and liver tissues.
Mortality rates were assessed based on the amount of sodium taurocholate administered.
Acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis was observed with interstitial oedema and extensive necrosis of acinar cells within 24 hours.
Marked acinar atrophy and pancreatic fibrosis were noted in survival subjects after 72 hours.
Higher doses of sodium taurocholate correlated with increased mortality rates.

Aho et al. (1980) studied this question.
