Abstract

Objective Acute pancreatitis continues to be associated with significant rates of mortality and morbidity, and therapeutic options are still
very limited. Various theories have been suggested regarding the pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis, lot of research into different
medical treatments for the treatment of acute pancreatitis, but it is not clear what benefits each treatment has, or indeed if any medical
treatment is beneficial apart from supportive treatment.
Aim To clarify the potential therapeutic effect of octreotide, trimetazidine, and their combination in acute pancreatitis.
Methods Acute pancreatitis was induced by L-arginine and treated with octreotide subcutaneously, trimetazidine intraperitoneally and
combination therapy by octreotide and trimetazidine. The rats were followed for 24 h. At the 24th hour we determined serum levels of
tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), lipase, and amylase, and the pancreatic tissues were
analyzed histopathologically.
Results TNF-α (P < 0.001), IL-1β (P < 0.001), TAC (P < 0.001), lipase (P < 0.001), and amylase (P < 0.001) serum levels and scores of
histopathological changes (P < 0.05) were significantly lower in combination group as compared with both octreotide and trimetazidine
groups.
Conclusion Combination treatment markedly decreases biochemical and histopathological changes in acute pancreatitis, thus ameliorate
pancreatic injury in l-arginine induced acute pancreatitis.
