Abstract
Measurement of local pancreatic blood flow during acute pancreatitis i s thought of as being technically difficult in smaller animals. In thi s study, we first employed an intraductal electrode method of the hydr ogen clearance technique for measurement of changes in local pancreati c blood flow in two types of acute pancreatitis in rats, then compared this method with an interstitial electrode method that has been used in rats, There was a very close correlation between these methods (r = 0.998, p < 0.001). The intraductal electrode method was easily perfor med and caused minimal tissue damage.
