Acute hemorrhagic pancreatic necrosis in mice. Influence of the age and sex of the animals and of dietary ethionine, choline, methionine, and adenine sulfate

B Lombardi and NK Rao

The influence of several factors on the development of acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis (pancreatic necrosis) with fat necrosis in mice fed DL-ethionine with a choline-deficient diet has been investigated. The results showed that: a) the incidence of the induced disease is dependent upon the age and sex of the animals and the dietary level of ethionine; b) 100% of young female mice fed 0.5% ethionine develop acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis and die within 5 days; c) the incidence is only 10 to 20% when 0.5% ethionine is fed with either a choline-supplemented diet or with laboratory chow; and d) development of pancreatic pathology is completely prevented by the inclusion in the diet of 0.5% methionine but not by the inclusion of 0.5% adenine. Possible mechanisms whereby choline deficiency potentiates the pancreatotoxicity of ethionine in mice are discussed.
