Abstract | BACKGROUND: MATERIAL AND METHODS: Fifty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 300-350 g were used. Rats were divided into four groups as sham + saline, sham + glutamine, ANP + saline and ANP + glutamine. ANP in rats was induced by glycodeoxycholic acid. The extent of acinar cell injury, mortality, systemic cardiorespiratory variables, functional capillary density, renal/hepatic functions, and changes in some enzyme markers for pancreatic and lung tissue were investigated during ANP in rats. RESULTS: The induction of ANP resulted in a significant increase in the mortality rate, pancreatic necrosis, and serum activity of amylase, alanine aminotransferase, interleukin-6, lactate dehydrogenase in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, serum concentration of urea, and tissue activity of myeloperoxidase and malondialdehyde in the pancreas and lung, and a significant decrease in concentrations of calcium, blood pressure, urine output, pO2, and functional capillary density. The use of glutamine alone improved these changes. CONCLUSIONS:
