Acute pancreatitis promotes the expression of NO and iNOS. (a) H&E staining of pancreatic tissue in vehicle- or cerulein-treated (40 μg/kg in 100 μL) C57BL/6 mice. Scale bars: 50 μm. (b) Immunohistochemical staining of pancreatic iNOS in control mice (A) or acute pancreatitis mice (B). Scale bars: 200 μm. The experiment was repeated three times. The data were analyzed using Student’s -test and one-way ANOVA. , /group. (c) The NO content in the control group or acute pancreatitis group. A: the serum of mice; B: pancreatic tissues of mice. The experiment was repeated three times. The data were analyzed using Student’s -test and one-way ANOVA. , /group.
