Network meta-analysis on the mechanisms underlying alcohol augmentation of acute pancreatitis and diabetes type II.

Exposure to alcohol may promote diabetes type II by affecting the activity of key inflammatory and metabolic mediators involved in acute pancreatitis. These findings call for further investigation into the role of pro-inflammatory and metabolic mediators like resistin, IL-6, and insulin in EtOH-induced diabetes type II associated with acute pancreatitis pathologies.
