Delay in gallbladder emptying during the perimenopausal period.

چکیده
A pilot study has ascribed an important role in gallbladder motility and emptying to the perimenopausal period. To assess the effect of this period on gallbladder emptying and cholelithogenesis, 25 women in the perimenopausal period without gallbladder disease were submitted to cholangiography and two ultrasound exams. The time for gallbladder emptying and the presence of cholelithiasis were assessed. All patients presented a delay in gallbladder emptying with no relationship to the pre- or postmenopausal period. This finding was not related to lithogenesis. Gallbladder emptying time is longer during the perimenopausal period.

متن کاملBy-passing the sphincter of Oddi does not affect gallbladder emptying in the pig.
A study of the relationship between bile secretion and nutrition in the pig requires a complete and continuous collection of the bile and its reinfusion to the animal. In most of the studies performed in different species, bile has been directly reinfused into the duodenum, leading to the exclusion of the sphincter of Oddi from the biliary pathway. It has been postulated that such an exclusion ...
