Research Article: Extracellular Vesicle Content Changes Induced by Melatonin Promote Functional Recovery of Pancreatic Beta Cells in Acute Pancreatitis
Introduction:
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas, digestive enzymes in pancreatic acinar cells are activated prematurely, which leads to auto-digestion of pancreatic acinar tissue and subsequent inflammation in the pancreas. Such inflammation can then spread to the whole body. AP has been reported to cause abnormal glucose metabolism, , during AP onset, the monocytes/macrophages are acutely accumulated in the pancreas and infiltrated into islets. Pancreatic resident macrophages are plastic cells…
