Chronic and acute pancreatitis are prevalent gastrointestinal conditions that significantly impact morbidity and life expectancy. Despite advancements in supportive care over the past two decades, there remains a dearth of specific and effective pharmacological treatments, primarily due to the incompletely understood pathobiology of the disease.

Experimental animal models have served as valuable tools in pancreatitis research for over a century. In recent years, rodent models (particularly rats and mice) have become the most commonly utilized in pancreatitis studies. These animals are relatively inexpensive to maintain, easy to manipulate, widely accessible, and capable of inducing moderate to severe pancreatic injury. These experimental models not only offer an avenue for mechanistic studies but also facilitate the development of therapeutic strategies, thus paving the way for potential improvements in the management and treatment of pancreatitis.

Our Animal Models of Pancreatitis

For pancreatitis research, there are a number of well-characterized animal models. As a research partner specialized in designing pharmacology and efficacy studies for different digestive diseases, Creative Bioarray can utilize the following models for the evaluation of potential therapeutics:

Example Data

H&E sections were examined by light microscopy (original magnification, 200×). Neutrophil infiltration, hemorrhage, necrosis and edema in pancreas tissues were observed. In lung tissues, hemorrhage, neutrophil infiltration and alveolar wall thickening were observed (a–b). The pathological scores of pancreas and lung (d–e). Serum amylase (c).
