[NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY PANCREATIC DISEASE (NAFPD) AND THE METABOLIC SYNDROME: INITIATING FACTOR OR ADDITIONAL COMPONENT?].
Nonalcoholic fatty pancreatic disease (NAFPD) integrates the spectrum of chronic clinical and morphological pancreatic changes: steatosis and nonalcoholic steatopancreatitis. NAFPD prevalence in USA was 27.8%, in China--12.9-16%. According to our data, 51.8% of patients with chronic pancreatitis was diagnosed MS. Association NAFPD with MS has been confirmed in most studies, the presence of any components of MS increases the prevalence NAFPD by 37 %. In the NAFPD pathogenesis is important not only excessive intake of free fatty acids (FFA), which leads to the pancreatic parenchyma inflammation and fibrosis, but also "glucolipotoxicity" (i.e., the combined toxicity of hyperglycemia and increased FFA level) for β-cells. It is shown that NAFPD is an initial index ofectopic fat deposition, and the earlier manifestation of MS than NAFLD. Most likely, a stage (or degree) of the MS is usefully to determine as the pancreatic status--its exo- and endocrine functions, and fat deposition. This approach will allow us to develop new therapeutic approaches not only to treatment but also to the primary prevention of metabolic syndrome.
