Core Tip
Core tip: Obesity worsens inflammatory organ injury in acute pancreatitis (AP), but there is no effective strategy. Sheng-jiang powder (SJP) has been shown to alleviate obesity-induced multiple-organ inflammatory injury. This study demonstrates that obesity may aggravate the inflammatory reaction and pathological injury in multiple organs in AP rats and that SJP may alleviate multiple-organ inflammatory injury in AP in rats fed a high-fat diet.
