Abstract
The effect of oxygen free radical suppression was studied in the tauro cholate model of acute pancreatitis in the rat using systemic allopuri nol, superoxide dismutase (S.O.D.) and catalase. None of the treatment s were beneficial which suggests that oxygen free radical suppression is unlikely to be clinically beneficial in acute pancreatitis.
