BACKGROUND: Chemerin is a potent chemoattractant for chemokine-like receptor 1
expressing cells and is involved in inflammatory and immune processes that play an
important role in chronic pancreatitis. AIM: To test the hypothesis that serum chemerin
concentration may be affected in chronic pancreatitis patients and that chemerin can
influence the course of chronic pancreatitis by increasing profibrotic cytokine production.
METHODS: Serum concentrations of chemerin and the major cytokines involved in …
