ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
In this study, we tested the hypothesis that hypertonic saline exerts anti-inflammatory effects by modulating hepatic oxidative stress in pancreatitis.INTRODUCTION:
The incidence of hepatic injury is related to severe pancreatitis, and hypertonic saline reduces pancreatic injury and mortality in pancreatitis.METHODS:
Wistar rats were divided into four groups control (not subjected to treatment), untreated pancreatitis (NT, pancreatitis induced by a retrograde transduodenal infusion of 2.5 percent sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duct with no further treatment administered), pancreatitis with normal saline (NS, pancreatitis induced as described above and followed by resuscitation with 0.9 percent NaCl), and pancreatitis with hypertonic saline (HS, pancreatitis induced as described above and followed by resuscitation with 7.5 percent NaCl). At 4, 12, and 24 h after pancreatitis induction, liver levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), heat-shock protein 70, nitrotyrosine (formation of peroxynitrite), nitrite/nitrate production, lipid peroxidation, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) release were determined.RESULTS:
Twelve hours after pancreatitis induction, animals in the HS group presented significantly lower iNOS expression (P<0.01 vs. NS), nitrite/nitrate levels (P<0.01 vs. NS), lipid peroxidation (P<0.05 vs. NT), and ALT release (P<0.01 vs. NS). Twenty-four hours after pancreatitis induction, nitrotyrosine expression was significantly lower in the HS group than in the NS group (P<0.05).DISCUSSION:
The protective effect of hypertonic saline was related to the establishment of a superoxide-NO balance that was unfavorable to nitrotyrosine formation.CONCLUSIONS:
Hypertonic saline decreases hepatic oxidative stress and thereby minimizes liver damage in pancreatitis.
