Induction of pancreatitis.

<p>(A) Levels of circulating lipase. Pancreatitis resulted in an increase in plasma lipase in all experimental groups. This increase was significantly higher in female <i>cbg</i>^<i>+/+</i>. (B) Mieloperoxidase activity in pancreas and (C) lung. Pancreatitis resulted in an increase in myeloperoxidase in all experimental groups. This increase resulted more marked in pancreas than in lung. Two Way Anova: circulating Lipase: Treatment P<0.0001, Sex P = 0.0063 Interaction P = 0.0040; Mieloperoxidase activity in pancreas: Treatment P<0.0001, Sex P = 0.7436, Interaction P = 0.7499; Mieloperoxidase activity in lung: Treatment P<0.0001, Sex P = 0.5030, Interaction P = 0.6427; Bonferroni Post-test: * P<0.05 control vs pancreatitis; + P<0.05 male vs female; • P<0.05 <i>cbg</i>^<i>+/+</i> vs <i>cbg</i>^<i>-/-</i>.
