Fig. 3. The expression of pancreatic digestive enzymes.

Serum lipase (A) and amylase activity (B) were determined in serum collected after 12 h of treatment with saline or caerulein (n = 5−6 in each group). The results of qPCR analysis of mRNA expression in pancreatic tissue are shown in C, D. Pancreatic digestive enzyme genes (Amy2, Pnlip, Ctrc, Cela1, and Ins), genes associated with pancreatic development (Nes and Pdx1), and ductal and epithelial cell-associated genes (Cdh1, Ctnnb1, Krt7, and Krt19) were examined (n = 6 in each group). The data are presented as the means ± SEMs. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001 compared to the control group. These data are representative of three experiments.
