Figure 7. Determination of trypsin activity in pancreatic tissue of cerulein-treated WT and UCP2^-/- mice.

Tissue samples of 12 months old mice at the indicated time points after initiation of cerulein treatment (n = 7–8 per group) were subjected to the quantification of trypsin activity as described in the “Materials and methods” section. Data are expressed as fmol active trypsin per mg pancreatic protein (mean ± SEM). *P<0.05 (WT versus corresponding UCP2^-/- mice).
