Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ agonist reduces the severity of post-ERCP pancreatitis in rats

Figure 3 Pancreatic tissue edema and plasma lipase activity 6 h after contrast medium infusion. Retrograde administration of contrast medium induced increases in edema and lipase activity. These increases were partially prevented by pre-treatment of rosiglitazone. ^aP < 0.05 AP vs their corresponding control; ^cP < 0.05 rosiglitazone-treated AP group vs vehicle-treated AP group.
