Background: Alprostadil can inhibit inflammation and reduce inflammation-related injury in many inflammatory diseases. However, the anti-inflammatory effect of alprostadil in decreasing acute pancreatitis (AP) injury remains unknow.

An animal model of acute pancreatitis was established. The patho...
