Protective effects 3-benzyl-6-chloro-2-pyrone (3-BCP) on histological parameters of alcoholic acute pancreatitis. (A) Representative H&E images of pancreas histology slides from treatment groups; combinations of ethanol (1.35 g/kg), palmitoleic acid (POA; 150 mg/kg), 4-methylpyrazole (4-MP; 10 mg/kg) and 3-BCP (30 mg/kg). (B)(i) Overall histopathological score and breakdown components: (ii) oedema, (iii) inflammation and (iv) necrosis. All detrimental changes induced by ethanol/POA/4-MP were significantly ameliorated by 3-BCP. (*p<0.05 compared to both saline and POA controls, #p<0.05 compared to ethanol/POA group. Values are mean±SE of 6 mice. Magnification: ×200).
