Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of thy roid releasing hormone on acute sodium-taurocholate-induced pancreatit is in rats. Thyroid-releasing hormone did not change the survival rate , serum amylase, glucose calcium, liver transaminases levels or the de gree of pancreatic damage, but reduced lactate dehydrogenase. Our find ings suggest that the use of thyroid-releasing hormone has no benefici al effect on the course of acute experimental pancreatitis.
