Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Epidermal growth factor (EGF) binds to pancreatic acinar cells and facilitates recovery from acute pancreatitis (AP). In animal models, EGF protects against pancreatic injury and prevents septic complications. The role of EGF in human AP is unknown. AIMS: The aim of this study was to assess EGF serum levels in AP patients and whether the EGF +61 G/A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) affects...
