[Effects of SH-compounds on changes in the antioxidant enzyme activity in various tissues during acute pancreatitis]

Abstract

In rats with experimental acute pancreatitis, activity of the antioxidant defense enzyme in pancreatic and liver tissues increases, while that in the blood erythrocytes decreases. Preliminary administration of SH-compounds, especially unithiol, favored an increase in the activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidaze.
