چکیده

The effects of a four to six day fast on gallbladder bile lipid composition, bile acid pool size, bile acid composition, and cholic acid metabolism have been determined in normal human subjects. Total bile acid pool size and cholic acid pool size were measured before and after fasting by a one-sample technique previously validated in our laboratory. The rate of synthesis of cholic acid and its fractional turnover rate before fasting were measured using standard techniques. Estimates of fasting cholic acid synthesis rate and fractional turnover rate were calculated as daily averages from the change in cholic acid pool size, in combination with the change in cholic acid specific activity, during the fasting period. Since these estimates are approximate, a maximum value for cholic acid synthesis rate during fasting was also determined by assuming that the entire change in cholic acid specific activity during the fasting period occurred instantaneously. The molar percent of cholesterol in gallbladder bile was reduced in eight of nine subjects after a four to six day fast (p less than .01; mean reduction 30.5%). The molar percents of bile acid and phospholipid were not significantly altered by fasting. The cholesterol saturation index, calculated on the basis of these data, was reduced by an average of 31.0% after a four to six day fast (p less than .02). The average daily cholic acid synthesis rate and the fractional turnover rate were reduced in all six subjects on whom isotope kinetic studies were carried out. The mean decrease in synthesis rate was 68.5% (p less than .05; range 55.2-79.8%) while the mean decrease in fractional turnover rate was 64.4% (p less than .05; range 30.2-100%). Reduction in synthesis rate was confirmed by the determination of maximum fasting synthesis of cholic acid, which averaged 61.1% lower than synthesis in the fed period. Fasting had no consistent effect on total bile acid pool size, cholic acid pool size, or bile acid species composition.

Effects of cholic acid on the metabolism of endogenous plasma triglyceride and on biliary lipid composition in hyperlipoproteinemia.

Plasma lipids, endogenous triglyceride kinetics, and biliary lipid composition were determined in 13 patients with primary hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP) before and during treatment with cholic acid (15 mg/kg body weight/day for 3 months). In patients with type IIa HLP (n = 5), no consistent effects were seen on fasting plasma lipids or triglyceride turnover determined over a 10-hour period. Plasma...

The present study was undertaken to characterize the effects of ursodeoxycholic acid on biliary lipid metabolism in man. Fifteen gallstone patients were treated with ursodeoxycholic acid at a daily dosage of 15 mg per kg body weight for about 4 weeks before cholecystectomy. At operation a liver biopsy, together with gallbladder and hepatic bile, were obtained. Eighteen untreated gallstone patie...

Oral treatment with chenodeoxycholic acid causes dissolution of cholesterol gallstones in man. In order to determine the mechanism of this effect, we have measured 24-hour biliary lipid output, lipid composition of fasting gallbladder bile, and bile acid pool sizes before and during such treatment in six patients with radiolucent gallstones in functioning gallbladders. In all six patients, the ...

The present work was undertaken in order to study whether or not there is a relation between hepatic HMG CoA reductase, hepatic cholesterol concentration, and biliary lipid composition. In 55 patients (10 with adenomyoma of the gallbladder wall, 45 with cholesterol gallstones) a liver biopsy together with gallbladder and hepatic bile were obtained at laparotomy under standardized conditions. Of...
