The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of 17ß-estradiol (E2) on acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) induced by glycodeoxycholic acid in rats. Rats were divided into six groups as sham + saline, sham + single dose E2 (SDE2), sham + multiple dose E2 (MDE2), ANP + saline, ANP + SDE2, and ANP + MDE2. ANP in rats was induced by glycodeoxycholic acid. The extent of acinar cell injury, mortality, systemic cardiorespiratory variables, functional capillary density (FCD), renal/hepatic functions, and changes in some enzyme markers for pancreatic and lung tissue were investigated during ANP in rats. The induction of ANP resulted in a significant increase in the mortality rate, pancreatic necrosis, and serum activity of amylase, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), interleukin (IL)-6, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, serum concentration of urea, and tissue activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the pancreas and lung, and a significant decrease in concentrations of calcium, blood pressure, urine output, p02, and functional capillary density (FCD). The use of E2 did not alter these changes. E2 demonstrated no effect on the course of ANP in rats. Therefore, it has no value in the treatment during acute pancreatitis.
