Figure 3

The levels of serum amylase, lipase and MPO activity. Rats were sacrificed at 12, 24 and 48 h after the induction of AP, 6 rats at each time point in each group. Serum was collected, and the levels of (A and D) serum amylase and (B and E) serum lipase were measured. AS-IV significantly reduced the levels of amylase and lipase in serum. (C and F) Rat pancreatic MPO activity was measured at the time point of 24 h after the induction of AP. AS-IV also reduced the NaTc/L-Arg-induced activity of MPO. Data are represented as the means ± SD from 3 independent experiments. *P<0.05 compared with the normal control group at the same time point; ▽P<0.05 compared with the NaTc/L-Arg + vehicle-treated group at the same time point. MPO, myeloperoxidase; AS-IV, astragaloside IV; NaTc, sodium taurocholate; L-Arg, L-arginine; AP, acute pancreatitis.
