Supports cerulein rat model for hemorheological research in acute pancreatitis; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis alter hemorheological parameters in rats?
Cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in rats causes significant early impairment in red blood cell deformability and aggregation, establishing a suitable model for further comparative studies.
Kotán et al. (2012) studied Acute pancreatitis. Cerulein vs. Control group was evaluated on Hemorheological changes (erythrocyte deformability and aggregation). Subcutaneously administered cerulein (5 and 10 μg/kg) induced acute pancreatitis in rats, causing significant early impairment in red blood cell deformability and erythrocyte aggregation.
