Lysolecithin concentration in pancreatic tissue during therapy with phospholipase A2-inhibitors in acute necrotizing pancreatitis.

Four hours after hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis was induced in experimental animals the concentration of lysolecithin in pancreatic tissue rose (p = 0.0025). Parenteral administration of unspecific inhibitors of phospholipase A2, such as chlorpromazine, gabexat mesilat and CaNa2 EDTA, can neither inhibit elevation of the enzyme nor influence the course of the disease.
