Abstract
Neurogenic Inflammation in Acute Pancreatitis
Akhil Hegde, Madhav Bhatia
Acute pancreatitis is a clinical condition whose incidence has increased over the past few years. The exact mechanism of its development is not yet clear. Substance P, the proinflammatory neuropeptide, has a role in the initiation of neurogenic inflammation.
