Abstract

Abstract Significance: Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of both acute and chronic pancreatitis. Although its impact is well investigated and has been studied clinically in chronic pancreatitis, it is less well defined for acute pancreatitis. Recent Advances: Pathophysiological aspects of oxidative stress in acute pancreatitis have shown that reactive oxidative species (ROS) participate in the inflammatory cascade, and mediate inflammatory cell adhesion and consecutive tissue damage. Furthermore, ROS are involved in the generation of pain as another important clinical feature of patients suffering from acute pancreatitis. Critical Issues: Despite sufficient basic and experimental knowledge and evidence, the step from bench to bedside has not been successfully performed. Only a limited number of clinical studies are available that can give convincing evidence for the use of antioxidants in the clinical setting of acute pancreatitis. Future Directions: Future studies are required to evaluate potential benefits of antioxidative substances to attenuate the severity of acute pancreatitis. Special focus should be put on the aspect of pain generation and the progression from mild to severe acute pancreatitis in the clinical setting. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 15, 2767-2777.
