Effect of age on pancreatic Reg1 and pancreatitis-associated protein mRNA levels

	Young rats	Old rats
Reg1	0.727 ± 0.19	1.27 ± 0.22
PAP1	119 ± 46	116 ± 18
PAP2	690 ± 267	475 ± 142
PAP3	57.8 ± 19	26.4 ± 4.3^a

Real time polymerase chain reaction analysis of RNA isolated from pancreata from young and old rats 24 h after induction of pancreatitis by sodium taurocholate. All were done against a β-actin control. No difference in RNAs were found except for pancreatitis-associated protein (PAP)3 (^aP < 0.05, Mann Whitney U test).
