Diurnal variation in cholesterol saturation of gall-bladder bile.
In order to determine whether a diurnal variation in cholesterol saturation index is present in gall-bladder bile, samples of bile were taken by nasoduodenal intubation and cholecystokinin infusion at 9 am after the conventional 12 hour fast, and also at 5 pm five hours after a meal containing no cholesterol or phospholipid. In healthy controls saturation index (mean +/- SEM) fell from 1.02 +/-...
متن کاملReduced cholesterol metastability of hepatic bile and its further decline in gall bladder bile in patients with cholesterol gall stones.
The reduced metastability of biliary cholesterol in the gall bladder bile of patients with cholesterol gall stones has been well shown. The purpose of this study was to examine the hypothesis that such a difference in metastability already exists in hepatic bile. Paired hepatic and gall bladder bile samples were collected from 10 patients with cholesterol gall stones and six patients without ga...
متن کاملStudies on Gall Bladder Function Viii. the Fate of Bile Pigment and Cholesterol in Hepatic Bile Subjected to Gall Bladder Activity by Cecilia
Eleven years have passed since Rous and McMaster (15) published their paper on the concentrating activity of the gall bladder. This contribution and subsequent ones by them and their associates renewed the interest of investigators in this organ. Two schools have developed, each with a different fundamental concept of gall bladder function. The one, following what would appear to be the more lo...
متن کاملNucleation time of gall bladder bile in gall stone patients: influence of bile acid treatment.
The time required for precipitation of cholesterol crystals (nucleation time, NT) was determined and related to the cholesterol saturation in gall bladder bile of gall stone free subjects (n = 11), patients with pigment stones (n = 3), and patients with cholesterol gall stones (n = 30) undergoing cholecystectomy. Seven of the gall stone patients had been treated with chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA...
متن کاملThe Cholesterol Function of the Gall Bladder
Cholesterol determinations of gall bladder and hepatic bile obtained from the same source reveal a greater concentration in the former even after the inspissating effect of the gall bladder is allowed for. This evidence together with that from other experiments indicates that the gall bladder has the power to excrete cholesterol into its lumen. There is evidence also that infection may accelera...
