Abstract
Pancreatitis is increasingly recognized as not merely a local inflammation of the pancreas but also a disease with high frequency of systemic sequelae. Current understanding of the cellular mechanisms that trigger it and affect the development of sequelae are limited. Genetically engineered mouse models can be a useful tool to study the pathophysiology of pancreatitis. This article gives an overview of the genetically engineered mouse models that spontaneously develop pancreatitis and discusses those that most closely replicate different pancreatitis hallmarks observed in humans.

Standardization for management of acute significant overall progress has development of metabolic disorders, such as exocrine been made during the last few decades (evidenced by a pancrDeeadtiiccatiendstuofPfiacuiel Pnlcayceh(EoPldIe)r, post-pancreatitis diabetes reduction in mortality rates), the improved outcomes mellitus (PPDM), and ectopic fat accumulation in the have not been due to any treatments based on specific pancreas [3,4,5,6]
Depending on the administration strategy employed this can resemble many of the common characteristics of human pancreatitis, including aberrant zymogen activation in the acinar cell, impaired exocrine pancreatic secretion, inflammation, morphological abnormalities, fibrosis and trans-differentiation of acini [13, 14]
An alternative approach that may be more specific to the underlying pathophysiology causing pancreatitis is the adoption of genetic mouse models
