The pancreas is a solid organ rich in digestive enzymes. Hence, autolytic changes set in early after biological death. Tomita et al., analyzing postmortem samples from different organs at intervals of 1, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 24 hours, found that the pancreas showed the earliest changes at 1 hour after death [1]. The optimum time before which tissue samples should be obtained from the pancreas for p...

Abstract Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a neuropeptide with widespread occurrence and diverse functions. PACAP binds to specific PAC1 non-specific VPAC1/2 receptors. considered as growth factor, it plays important roles during development participates in reparative processes. Highest concentrations are found the nervous system endocrine glands, where several funct...

Recent studies have shown that renal ischemia-reperfusion injury can detrimental effects on distant organs such as the brain, liver and lungs. In this study, we aimed to investigate of pancreatic functions.
