The concentration of heavy trace elements in pigment and cholesterol humangallstones: Comparative studies by PIXE analysis.
Background: The method of proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) has been widely used as a sensitive technique to trace elemental analysis in both biological and medical fields. The sensitivity of this powerful method is in the order of ppm .The aim of this work is to analyze structural composition of 4 heavy trace elements with Z greater than 24 (Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn) in two kinds of gallstones and to...
متن کاملLipid metabolism in the development of cholesterol gallstones in hamsters. III. The effect of dietary cholesterol on its biliary concentration and lithogenesity.
The effect of dietary cholesterol on the lithogenesity of bile in female hamsters was investigated. Biliary and serum lipids and serum lipoproteins of the hamsters fed with the normal diet supplemented with 1% cholesterol for 10, 20 and 30 days were analyzed. The synthesis rate of phospholipids and triglycerides were determined with (l-14C) palmitate incorporated into these lipids in the livers...
متن کاملPrevalence and pathological findings of cholelithiasis in goats
BACKGROUND: Gallstones are concretions that form in the biliary system. There are two major types of gallstones (pigment and cholesterol), which seem to form due to distinctly different pathogenic mechanisms. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and chemical composition of gallstones in goats. Bacteriologic analysis and pathological findings were reviewed. METHODS:...
متن کاملCholesterol, bile acid, and lipoprotein metabolism in two strains of hamster, one resistant, the other sensitive (LPN) to sucrose-induced cholelithiasis.
A comprehensive study of cholesterol, bile acid, and lipoprotein metabolism was undertaken in two strains of hamster that differed markedly in their response to a sucrose-rich/low fat diet. Under basal conditions, hamsters from the LPN strain differed from Janvier hamsters by a lower cholesterolemia, a higher postprandial insulinemia, a more active cholesterogenesis in both liver [3- to 4-fold ...
متن کاملAntilithiasic effect of beta-cyclodextrin in LPN hamster: comparison with cholestyramine.
Beta-Cyclodextrin (BCD), a cyclic oligosaccharide that binds cholesterol and bile acids in vitro, has been previously shown to be an effective plasma cholesterol lowering agent in hamsters and domestic pigs. This study examined the effects of BCD as compared with cholestyramine on cholesterol and bile acid metabolism in the LPN hamster model model for cholesterol gallstones. The incidence of ch...
