| S. No | Parameters | L-arginine induced chronic pancreatitis | L-arginine induced chronic pancreatitis (untreated) | L-arginine induced chronic pancreatitis treated with 0.5% EGCG | L-arginine induced chronic pancreatitis treated with 0.5% EGCG + 0.1% NAC + 0.2% curcumin |
| 1 | Acini | Very few acini observed | Scanty acini observed | Slight improvement in pancreatic parenchyma | Pockets of compact acinar lobules seen |
| 2 | Ductules | Increased | Increased | Decreased compared to chronic pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis untreated | Few in number |
| 3 | Vacuoles | Not seen | Not seen | Not seen | Not seen |
| 4 | Inflammatory cells/high power field | >200 | >200 | >100 - 155 | ~50 - 80 |
| 5 | Fibrosis | Dense collagen deposition seen around the ducts, islets and acini. | Adiposity seen in addition to fibrosis. | Reduced fibrosis in comparison to CP and CP untreated mice group. | Adiposity present but fibrosis reduced akin to CP and CP untreated group. |
