Comparable Responses in Male and Female Mice to Cerulein-Induced Chronic Pancreatic Injury and Recovery.

Conclusions: Male and female mice of the cerulein-induced chronic pancreatitis demonstrate similar responses to chronic pancreatitis injury and recovery. Although this model may not sufficiently emulate sex-dependent responses in human chronic pancreatitis, our study supports that both sexes of mice from this model can be used for the study of chronic pancreatitis.
