We have previously isolated from 13 cholesterol gallstones a low molecular weight acidic bili-protein that inhibited the precipitation of calcium carbonate in uitro. We now report the isolation of a similar protein from seven black pigment gallstones. Cholesterol was removed from the stones by Soxhl
to Model I in ethanol-water and acetone-water solvent mixtures. In 5 x cholate, the rates appear to be somewhat slower than the predictions of Model I; in bile salt-lecithin solutions, the rates appear to be more than a factor of 10 slower. In Fig. , the data of Small (2) are compared to some theore
There is no genetically susceptible, spontaneous and naturally occurring animal model for human cholesterol cholelithiasis. The disease has been reported to occur spontaneously only rarely in some primates. The human disease is probably multifactorial; therefore, the finding or development through i
Calcium bilirubinate, palmitate, carbonate and phosphate have been identified in the cores of cholesterol and pigment gallstones, suggesting a role for precipitated calcium salts in the early events of gallstone formation. Previous studies that compared the calcium salt contents of cholesterol and p
