Figure 1. Biochemical measurements in diet-induced acute pancreatitis. Amylase levels increased over the 72-hour feeding period (*, P < .0003). Significant progressive hypoglycemia (†, P < .0001) and severe hemoconcentration (‡, P < .008) occurred during the feeding period, consistent with diet-induced acute pancreatitis. Also, progressive weight loss (§, P < .002) occurred during the feeding period. All values are expressed as mean ± SEM.
