Complications andGlycemic Target ofPancreatic Diabetes
Good glycemic control reduces the risk of microvascu­lar and macrovascular complications in patients with diabetes[11,36]. A Japanese nationwide survey revealed that the incidence of retinopathy was lower in pancre­atic diabetes than in type 1 and type 2 diabetes, but the incidence of neuropathy and nephropathy was compa­rable [11]. The prevalence of diabetic complications, including cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disor­ders, also increases with the duration of diabe­tes[11,14,36]. Therefore, as in other types of diabetes, achieving good glycemic control could improve the quality of life of patients with pancreatic diabetes. Conversely, rapid fluctuations in glucose levels, namely “brittle diabetes,” are frequently observed in patients with pancreatic diabetes and result in poor glycemic control. Avoiding severe hypoglycemia is ver y
important
in these patients with “brittle diabetes.” A large retro­spective cohort study from England revealed that patients with pancreatic diabetes had worse glycemic control than did those with type 2 diabetes. The odds ratio for poor glycemic control (defined as HbA
7%)

at 5 years after the diagnosis was 1.7 in patients with pancreatic diabetes than in those with type 2 diabe­tes [12]. According to the recommendations of the ADA, less stringent targets (HbA1c up to 8%) may be appropriate if the risks and burdens outweigh the potential benefits [42]. Severe or frequent hypoglyce­mia is an absolute indication for the modification of treatment regimens, including setting higher glycemic targets. Although this recommendation is mainly for patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, the same situa­tion is frequently observed in those with pancreatic dia­betes and unstable glycemic control. Therefore, less stringent glycemic control may be recommended for patients with pancreatic diabetes. Accordingly, the Japanese guidelines for chronic pancreatitis proposed that an HbA
level of 7.5% could be used as a target;

nevertheless, further research is warranted to set an optimal glycemic target for this condition.

Oxidative Stress andAntioxidants inChronic Pancreatitis

Introduction
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a progressive fibro­inflammatory disease of the pancreas characterized by repeated episodes of pancreatic inflammation and injury which result in pancreatic exocrine and/or endocrine insufficiency. Morphologically, it is characterized by parenchymal loss leading to atrophy, fibrosis, and ductal stricture and/or calcification causing ductal dilata­tion[1]. The pathophysiological mechanisms of CP are not well understood. Over the past few decades, oxida­tive stress has emerged as an important mechanism con­tributing to pancreatic inflammation and the role of antioxidants has been evaluated in patients with CP.
Free- radical production is an integral part of cellular physiology. These free radicals are neutralized by spe­cific cellular enzymes and other small molecules called scavengers and antioxidants. In health, intricate balance exists between free radicals and antioxidants. However, excessive production of free radicals by activation of oxi­dative pathways or deficiency of antioxidants tilts the balance leading to “oxidative stress.” It is formally defined as “an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants in favor of oxidants leading to disruption of redox signaling and control, and/or molecular damage”[2]. This review focuses on oxidative stress and the role of antioxidants in mitigating oxidative stress, inflammation, and relieving pain in patients with CP.
Pro- Oxidants
Pro- oxidants are the molecules that favor formation of free radicals. Free radicals have one or more free elec­trons and usually are reactive oxygen species (ROS) or
reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in the cellular environ­ment. Free radicals and their reaction products are a part of normal cell physiology by acting as second messengers and they play an important role in cellular signaling[3]. Mitochondria are the site of physiological oxidative stress. Excessive production of ROS and RNS may dam­age biomolecules such as lipids, DNA, and proteins (Fig.57.1).
Detoxification of xenobiotics is another source of production of free radicals. Xenobiotics are toxic sub­stances that enter the body and undergo detoxification in two phases to a hydrophilic substance thus facilitat­ing their excretion in the urine. In phase I metabolism, cytochrome P450 (CYP 450) oxidase system and hydrolyzing enzymes either cleave the parent molecule or result in oxidation or hydroxylation. In phase II metabolism, they are
conjugated to a hydrophilic group (glucuronidation, acetylation, methylation, sulfation, or conjugation with glutathione) to form a polar water­soluble inactive compound that can be excreted by the body. Induction of phase I enzymes can itself result in generation of free radicals through the CYP450 system.
Various exogenous substances such as alcohol, tobacco, environmental pollutants, heavy metals, certain drugs, dietary toxins, and fumes lead to free radical generation. Alcohol metabolism can result in production of free rad­icals. Alcohol is converted to acetaldehyde, a toxic and reactive molecule, by alcohol dehydrogenase, and acetal­dehyde is converted to acetate by aldehyde dehydroge­nase. Each of the steps results in consumption of nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide phosphate hydro­gen (NADPH) and free radical formation.
Cigarette smoking similarly contains a lot of xenobiot­ics which can induce free-
radical production and lipid
peroxidation[4].

Antioxidants are substances that when present in low con­centration compared to those of an oxidizable substrate significantly delay or inhibit oxidation of that substrate[5]. They can be classified into several groups: (i) cellular enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT); (ii) vitamins such as β- carotene, ascorbic acid, α- tocopherol; (iii) uric acid; and (iv) amino acids and proteins, which form complexes with transition metal ions. Cysteine is an important amino acid for the synthesis of glutathione. Methionine provides
Selenium is a component of the GPx and Se- dependent enzyme thioredoxin reductase. These enzymes reduce hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxides[6].
Primary defenses against oxidative stress include anti­oxidants vitamin E, vitamin C, β- carotene, glutathione, and uric acid. Second- line defense includes antioxidant scavenging enzymes that include SOD, CAT, and GPX. There exists a “redox homeostasis” within the cellular milieu and temporary exposure to ROS activate redox signaling (Fig.57.2)[7].

Assessment ofOxidative Stress andAntioxidant Status
Oxidative Stress Markers
Measurement of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) is the most commonly used assay and is a marker of lipid peroxidation. Lipid peroxidation causes damage to the cell membrane. Malonaldehyde (MDA) and 4- hydroxynonenal (4- HNE) are the most important prod­ucts of lipid peroxidation and can be used as markers of lipid peroxidation. Lipid peroxidation is a key step in oxida­tive stress mediated injury [8,9]. Some sugars may react with thiobarbituric acid resulting in assay interference[10].
Antioxidant Status Markers
Antioxidants work in tandem and complement each other. Hence, measurement of individual antioxidants may not be a direct measure of total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of the body. The ferric acid reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) measures the reducing capacity of blood from ferric to ferrous ion. FRAP is an easy and reproducible assay to measure TAC of the body[11].
Oxidative Stress inCP andits Consequences
The concept of “oxidative stress” in the pathogenesis of chronic pancreatitis can be credited to Joan M. Braganza, who proposed the hypothesis that products of hepatic detoxification may cause pancreatic diseases due to reflux of bile containing these substances into the pan­creas. It was proposed that aberrant function of hepatic mixed function oxidase (MFO) may be the root cause of pancreatic diseases[12].
Rose et al. [13] first suggested that antioxidant defi­ciency may play a role in the pathogenesis of CP. Antioxidant deficiency was observed in patients with CP and oxidative stress was subsequently hypothesized as an important pathophysiological mechanism for the development of CP. It was supported by the observation that a high concentration of lipid- based free- radical oxi­dation products were detected in the serum and duode­nal bile during the relatively asymptomatic phase between the recurrent attacks of pancreatitis suggesting persistent oxidative stress [14]. Three possible mecha­nisms were suggested: (i) CYP induction by cigarette smoking [15]; (ii) exposure to volatile petrochemical products in occupational environment [16]; and (iii) reduced dietary intakes of methionine and vitamin C in alcoholics[17,18].
Xenobiotic- mediated injury may perpetuate repeated/ chronic inflammation in CP. The phase I enzymes such as CYP1A2, CYP3A, and NADPH- CYP oxidoreductase rather than phase II enzymes were found to be induced in the surgical biopsies of pancreas in a study of drug­metabolizing enzymes. Phase II enzymes facilitate removal of xenobiotics after conjugation with GSH, but phase I enzymes may produce toxic intermediates. In addition, pancreatic acinar cells showed evidence of oxi­dative stress[19].
ROS can lead to acinar cell death in pancreatitis. ROS is a key mediator of CCK- induced apoptosis in experi­mental pancreatitis. This is mediated by increasing intra­cellular calcium leading to release of mitochondrial cytochrome c, which activates caspases causing apopto­sis[20,21]. ROS can also activate pancreatic stellate cells (PSC). PSC may also generate ROS by NADPH oxidase, which mediates activation of PSC[22].
Evidence forOxidative Stress and Total Antioxidant Status inCP
Lipid peroxide activity was studied by Basso etal.[23] in 49 patients with CP, 28 patients with pancreatic cancer, 40 controls, and 53 patients with extrapancreatic dis­eases. It was observed that lipid peroxide activity was increased in patients with CP during disease relapse and correlated with the degree of inflammation.
Szuster- Ciesielska et al. [24], studied the ability of blood neutrophils to produce superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide spontaneously and after stimulation and showed that the resting production of these free rad­icals was significantly higher in patients with pancreatitis compared with controls. Superoxide dismutase and cata­lase activities were greater in patients with alcoholic pancreatitis than controls.
Patients with CP and pancreatic cancer had higher lev­els of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase in the pancreatic juices collected endoscopically compared with controls. Immunohistochemical studies of Cu/ZN- SOD in pan­creatic tissue showed localization to ductal cells, islet cells, and centro- acinar cells but to a much lesser extent to acinar cells[25].
Schoenberg etal.[26] studied lipid peroxidation prod­ucts in the tissue and serum of patients suffering from acute (n = 9) and chronic pancreatitis (n = 11). In patients with CP, the products of lipid peroxidation such as conjugated dienes and malonaldehyde were higher in pancreatic tissue compared to controls (organ donor). Reduced glutathione was significantly decreased suggesting oxidative stress. Increased levels of tissue lipid peroxidation products and altered glutathione

metabolism suggested ongoing peroxidation of lipids due to an enhanced generation of oxygen radicals.
Patients with alcoholic CP have low blood levels of many antioxidant factors despite adequate oral intake. In a study, serum levels of Vitamin A, Vitamin E, selenium, and glu­tathione peroxidase level were significantly lower com­pared to healthy controls despite no dietary differences in these micro- nutrients. The study hypothesized that such deficiency was probably due to pancreatic insufficiency and increased requirement due to oxidative stress[27].
In another study, Mathew etal.[28] evaluated antioxi­dants in patients with hereditary CP. Antioxidants levels in four groups were compared: hereditary CP, kindred but no pancreatitis, CP due to other etiology, and con­trols. Hereditary CP patients had lower antioxidant lev­els. Their kindred had higher vitamin E and selenium levels, which might have prevented them from having pancreatitis despite low glutathione peroxidase levels. Hence, the authors hypothesized that supplementation with vitamin E and selenium might be a good therapeutic option to decrease the frequency of pancreatitis in patients with CP.
Patients with CP in tropical areas had earlier onset of pancreatitis. In a study, Braganza etal.[29] showed that the bioavailability of beta- carotene and ascorbic acid was lower in tropical areas compared to temperate zones. The culinary practice that erodes bioavailability of these two antioxidants might have predisposed to pancreatic oxidative stress and earlier presentation of CP in tropical countries compared to temperate countries.
Whether presence of diabetes significantly modifies oxidative status in patients with CP was evaluated in another study. CP patients with or without diabetes were compared with type 1 diabetes and healthy controls for oxidant and antioxidant status as well as LDL oxidation status. Antioxidant status was altered in patients with CP particularly in those with diabetes. In these patients, vitamin E deficiency and elevated plasma glucose level were associated with significantly higher LDL oxidizabil­ity predisposing to atherosclerosis[9].
Uden etal.[17] found significantly low antioxidant lev­els of selenium, vitamin C, and vitamin E compared to controls in patients with idiopathic CP and suggested that selenium supplementation might be beneficial.
The question whether oxidative stress played any role in the progression of disease from recurrent acute to chronic pancreatitis was addressed in a recent study by Bopanna etal.[30]. The study included patients with idi­opathic recurrent acute pancreatitis both in the acute phase and the quiescent phase to evaluate oxidative stressand found that patients had oxidative stress during the acute phase of illness and antioxidants levels were reduced. Taken together, the findings suggested that oxidative stress was associated with recurrent attacks of
pancreatitis and might be contributing to the progression of recurrent acute pancreatitis to CP.
Hence, most studies have shown the presence of oxida­tive stress and decreased antioxidant levels in patients with CP. The low antioxidant levels may be due to dietary deficiency or impaired absorption resulting from pan­creatic insufficiency or from increased consumption due to oxidative stress.
Role ofAntioxidant Supplementation inCP
To mitigate oxidative stress and correct antioxidant defi­ciency, it was postulated that antioxidant supplementa­tion might be beneficial. There are multiple randomized controlled trials (Table 57.1) and meta­address this issue.
The first RCT was conducted by Uden etal.[31]. It was a double- blind placebo- controlled crossover RCT. Twenty- three patients were recruited of whom only 20were included in the final analysis (7had alcoholic CP, 8had idiopathic CP, and 5had recurrent acute pancrea­titis). One arm was given combination antioxidants (daily 600 μg selenium, 0.54 gm ascorbic acid, 9000 IU β- carotene, 270 IU α- tocopherol, and 2 gm methionine) and the other arm was given placebo. Total duration of treatment was 20weeks with crossover at 10weeks. Six patients on placebo had recurrent attacks compared to none in the antioxidant arm. The authors concluded that active treatment was associated with clinical improve­ment over and above placebo effect.
Banks et al. [32] subsequently studied the antioxidant allopurinol in patients with painful CP and compared it with placebo. There was no decrease in visual analog scale (VAS) score or McGill score with the intervention though the study was limited by a small sample size of only 16 patients. Bilton etal.[33] also failed to show any improvement in VAS score in a double- blind placebo- controlled RCT of combination antioxidants (daily 800 mg SAMe, 600 μg selenium, and 9000 IU β- carotene) compared to placebo.
Curcumin supplementation for 6weeks did not show any improvement in VAS score compared to placebo in an RCT. Though the study showed improvement in GSH level in red blood cells and decrease in MDA levels, there was no improvement in pain[34].
In a double- blind placebo- controlled crossover RCT, 36 patients with CP were randomized to receive combi­nation antioxidants (4 times daily 75 μg selenium, 3 mg β- carotene, 47 mg d- α- tocopherol, 150 mg ascorbic acid, and 400 mg methionine) or placebo for 20 weeks with crossover at 10we eks. There was significant improvement in pain component of SF 36 score with the combination antioxidant therapy[35].

The limitations of these studies were a small sample size, inclusion of predominantly alcoholic CP, nonstand­ardized quantification of pain, and short duration of antioxidant supplementation.
Bhardwaj et al. conducted a double-
blind placebo­controlled RCT to study the role of antioxidant supple­mentation in patients with both alcohol- related and idiopathic CP. A total of 127 patients with CP (age
30.5 ± 10.5 years, 32 alcohol- related and 95 with idio­pathic CP) were randomized to receive either antioxi­dants (n = 56; daily 0.54 gm ascorbic acid, 9000 IU β- carotene, 270 IU α- tocopherol, 600 μg selenium, and 2 gm methionine) or placebo (n = 71), for 6 months. There was a significant reduction in number of painful days per month in the antioxidant group (7.37 [6.75] vs.
3.21 [3.99], P < 0.001). Twenty- three out of 71 patients were pain- free in the antioxidant group compared to 7 out of 56in placebo (P = 0.009). The reduction in levels of TBARS and increase in levels of FRAP were also signifi­cantly higher in the antioxidant group, which was com­mensurate with the clinical observation[36].
Another trial randomized 70 patients with CP to receive
either combination antioxidant, (n = 33; 38.5 mg selenium,
113.4 mg d- tocopherol acetate, 126.3 mg ascorbic acid, and 480 mg l- methionine) or placebo (n = 37) for 6months[37]. The study did not find improvement in VAS score or num­ber of pain- free patients with the antioxidant therapy. However, there were several limitations of the study which prevented its generalizability: all the patients were receiving a mean of 85 mg/day opioids suggesting chronic

neuropathic pain, more than half of patients had failed prior medical or surgical therapy suggesting that they have a severe unresponsive disease, and they continued to drink alcohol and smoke during the study period[38].
One study evaluated the combined role of antioxidants and pregabalin in patients with recurrence of pain fol­lowing surgical/endoscopic therapy and showed that the combination therapy significantly reduced pain[39].
Four meta- analyses[40–43] have been done to date to study the role of antioxidant supplementation in pain relief in CP (Table57.2). Three out of four meta- analyses have shown benefit with antioxidant therapy. In the Cochrane systemic review and meta- analysis[40], which evaluated 12 RCTs including 585 participants, there was a slight reduction in pain with the antioxidant therapy. It showed that adverse events might prevent use of antioxi­dants in one out of six patients. Effects on other out­comes such as use of analgesics, exacerbation of pancreatitis, and quality of life remained uncertain.
Conclusion
Pain is the predominant symptom in patients with chronic pancreatitis. There is compelling evidence that oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of CP. Patients with CP are deficient in antioxidants due to impaired absorption and increased demand. Supplementation with antioxidants is beneficial in reducing pain in patients with CP.
