Reduced synthesis of TNF alpha by ghrelin in acute pancreatitis

s / Pancreatology 16 (2016) S1eS130 S7 concentrations (typical to obesity), analyzing fat accumulation and ER stress indicators. Results: Pancreatic acinar cells acutely challenged with different FAs exhibited significantly increased fat accumulation. Acute challenge with saturated FA in obesogenic levels significantly increased stress levels, unlike challenge with unsaturated FA, reflected by; increased expression levels of inflammatory and ER stress markers and XBP1 splicing and nuclear translocation. Combination of FAs reduced the deleterious stress effects induced by saturated FA. Conclusion: Thus, type of FA differentially affects exocrine pancreas acinar cell stress, especially in obesogenic levels. Combination of FAs ameliorates exocrine pancreas acinar stress and could have potential therapeutic nutritional implications relevant to pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer nutritional treatment.
