Core Tip

Core tip: It was assured that the model with chronic fibrotic lesions in pancreas was induced by single intravenous injection of dibutyltin dichloride (DBTC) and additional daily ethanol ingestion. But until now, all experiments about the animal model induced by DBTC just have been performed in rat. However, there are some differences in the structure of bile ducts between rat and mouse. As we known, rat has no gall bladder, but mouse’s gall bladder structure is similar to humans’. So we adopted DBTC injection joint long-term consumption of ethanol to observe whether chronic pancreatitis could be induced in mice and the related pathophysiology.
