Abstract:
The article clarifies role of the monooxygenase system in the development of acute
pancreatitis. Authors determine cytochrome P-450 possesses unique properties that ensure the
maintenance of chemical homeostasis in physiological and pathological states of the internal
organism medium. The liver is the main organ supporting physico-chemical homeostasis,
detoxification of endogenously formed and exogenously introduced xenobiotics into the body.
But there is also extrahepatic metabolism of foreign compounds. The intestine plays an
important role in this process. Endogenous intoxication syndrome disrupts metabolism and
reduces the functional activity of natural detoxification systems, in particular by inhibiting the
liver’s monooxygenated detoxification system.
